Brake Calipers
So comming home from work today I noticed that when I braked hard the truck pulled to the left somthing fierce....Pulled the caliper off and pumped the brakes brake fluid squirted out surrouding the piston. Took it to advanced got a new one put it on bled the brakes went for a spin now whenever I brake it pulls to the opposite side, the right even worse. Is it possible that the older caliper does not brake as hard as the new remaned one I put on??....As for tomorrow I guess I'll be putting a passenger side caliper on, unless anyone has any other news for me,.........just wondering if this has ever happend to anyone else??
thanks for the input!!

And you're sure that the new caliper has been bled properly?

My 99 cummins 4x4 pulled to the left when braking, it had 6000 mi. on new ceramic pads and wandered all over the road. the dealer turned the rotors and replaced the calipers, now it doesn't pull but it still wouldn't steer right. Update from last post, the dealer changed to stock wheels and tires twice didn't help. then they finally replaced the steering box yesterday and now its much better. This has been going on for a month. I don't know why the dealers don't give up on dodge steering boxes and put on the motor sports boxes, they would only have to do it once.oh well it was free. anyway I got my truck finally. ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT RIDE SOFTER, OR SEAT MODIFICATION?
