brake pulling to one side - 3/25/2008 9:40:37 PM    1989blazed   Posts: 11 Joined: 3/6/2008 Status: offline Ok i know i have asked a lot of questions lately but i just got this blazer and I love it! I have been ripping it apart trying to fix everything. Ok heres my question when i step on brakes truck pulls hard to passenger side. it has new pads and i even replaced the driver side caliper thinking that was the problem and it is still pulling hard to pass side. Any suggestions? Post #: 1
