BRAKES!!!!

[2010 Stroker]

My truck is less then 3 weeks old and has 3200 miles on it and it is in the shop for the third time today for a brake pull to the passsenger side. i have had pads rotors a new caliper and all the air bled. and it still does it. ANY IDEAS????

alignment and or tires can also cause pulling when braking

had both checked the first time i took it in. it started 2 days after i bought it and i am the only one who drives it and i know that it didnt hit anything so i dont know. someone told me it could be the proportioning valve in the master cylinder

Anybody check the rear brake operation ? Over the years many times after totally rebuilding the front brakes and rotors and calipers etc I have seen the rear brake brakes be the culprit, Dont overlook them. Tires are also a good area to look , have them Road Force balance them and find which one may have excessive road force, The balancer will tell them which tire to put where. ie; on which corner of the truck.

thanks i had a Ford Factory Technician come out and he told my local dealer to swap pads left to right....so needless to say after arguing with this guy for 20 mins on how this was going to prove nothing and it is a waste of time. they switched pads and what do you know same problem........ sometimes ppl just dont want the 20 year old kid to be right

i know it doesnt help your situation but mine does the same thing when I brake hard and I just thought it was the roads around here........they are really crappy


let us know if you find anything out

Someone told me it's the proportioning valve inside the master cylinder. They Are redoing the entire brake system tomorrow...so we will see

Did they honestly check your alignment and rotate your tires? Porportioning valves are usually set up front to rear, I guess you'll find out tomorrow.

ya i am good friends with the tech at the dealer so if he said he did i know he did. my front passenger side brake smokes as well so im guessing its in there somewhere

Never heard of a proportioning valve inside a master cylinder. It is a seperate part on most vehicles Your truck has hydraulic ABS and is controlled electronicaly. Did they check the rear brakes yet? Maybe take it to a dealer with a 4 wheel skid plate that will measure the braking ability of all 4 wheels.
