For those who remember and might be interested, The Disco pulled to the left when brakes were applied. I had replaced pad and rotors as part of general maint. Lines were bled, and front calipers were rebuilt (cleaned and seals replaced) even though they seemed to be working okay. Nothing helped. I had someone help me test the brake pedal pressure required to keep each wheel from rotating. Both front and rear right side wheels required more pressure. At Kyle's suggestion I got a proportioning valve (pressure reducing valve) locally out of wrecked Disco. Still no joy. For $25 it seemed worth a shot. Bottom line is after that, I ordered new right side front and rear calipers, and through a comedy of shipping errors, the front finally arrived. I put it on Saturday morning, and the problem was solved. I still probably need to do something about the rear right side when (if) I ever get the caliper. A couple of you--Kyle and Ron--said that the problem sounded like a caliper, and you were right. Thanks, guys. I'll go ahead and keep my day job for now. When I get around to it, maybe I'll tear apart the old caliper, and see what was done wrong. Thanks for the help. Alan Stuart |
