pulingleft on braking after 2 or 3 stops pads ok worn even tires ok new pad s and hard wear installed may be piston

one of the e brake shoes could be stuck engaged.....you could have a slide pin or caliper sticking, or you could be dealing with a loose or damaged wheel bearing one one side causing the pull.....it could even be as simple as tire pressures.........a low tire will cause a pull when braking.......Marc

if your running a f550, you could have one tire at 80psi, one at 60, and still have good wear....definately check that out. if you have a stuck piston, clean the wheels VERY WELL.......and watch the brake dust......the one with the stuck piston shouldnt have any on it...you may even be able to tell that now. commonly, the rotor on the one with the stuck piston will also appear "grooved" and sometimes glossier than the other........Marc

also, if its pulling left, i would suspect a right front caliper if you do indeed have one stuck.....Marc

if the right caliper isnt slowing down the tire, and the left one is, the momentum will still be there on the right side, but the left will be slowing down, so it will pull left. if the caliper was hanging up, it would be the opposite. since he isnt seeing any abnormal break wear, i would say its stuck, not hanging up if that is in fact whats going on.....Marc
