Getrag Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ive noticed this develop over the last 2 weeks. When I brake very firmly the car will ever so slightly yaw/pull to the right. It is a new development. I've had all calipers and pads changed recently. The shocks on the back are worn and are getting changed, not sure if it could be that. Any ideas?

Getrag Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Will check the pressures thanks. Could be caliper but were all changed recently, they will be stripped down of course if I cant find fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I had a similar problem on my old vauxhall - the problem only appeared when i changed my pads as they were obvoiusly much thicker than my old, worn-out ones - and this problem reared (sp?) its head. Wasn't by much, but was enough to annoy me. Also, I've had a mis-shaped tyre before. I swapped left for right wheel (non-directional tyres) and car immediately started pulling the other way. I went straight back to the garage - tyre changed - and all was well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Check all the pressures last night and that is all fine. Could be new pads I guess since they were all changed for new ones in the last month. Plus, I've just had 4 new tyres so there a lot of areas for error lol.
