Retro-gone. Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 since fitting the new pads 2 miles ago the car is slightly pulling to the right under braking, the more pressure i put on the brake pedal combined with higher speed braking the more it pulls, im bedding in the pads as always and havent done any serious braking yet, do you think itl settle? ive fitted scores of brake pads in various cars in the past so its something that comes easy to me, ps, the brakes were perfect before fitting the new pads.
BIG G Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 silly question have you got copper slip on the pad face or has the caliper seized where you pressed it back in to fit the new pads give the peddle a stamping on to see if that sorts it
Retro-gone. Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Posted March 6, 2009 copperslip on back of pads but didnt get any on the face, caliper not seized, no i havent tried stamping on the pedal....yet
caprinerd Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 number of things tony, tyre pressure , tracking, sticky caliper piston, leaking seal on caliper piston, the can go on and on mate

Copey Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 good to hear you are not trapped in doors, as said try bleedin the brakes hope you get them sorted
vibrating_Cake Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 as said, bleed them... if not whack the disks off and calipers and push the pistons fully home.... re-assemble and try again.
