Title says it all, Shes pulling to the left when you hit the brakes hard, not so much under light braking though.

I'm thinking the brakes need to be bled..maybe one caliper is engaging before the other due to air in the line? Would that make sense?

The brakes do feel a bit spongy, and aren't grabbing as quickly as I feel they should.

I have a good %50 left on my pads all around, rotors are probably in need of replacement, but not too bad looking, not sure what shape the calipers are in, but again, probably in need of replacement.


Any ideas? Air in the lines? Or something mechanical?

 

Take a look at the passenger side for swelled up brake line and stuck caliper. Pull off the wheels and inspect both sides, make sure there's no contamination of brake fluid/grease or something on the pads or rotors.

 

could be poor condition/glazed/worn pads, rotors, calipers, soft hoses, contamination on surfaces or water in fluid, or needs bleeding.

 

Check the obvious first... low or uneven tire pressure....hows your tire wear? Check for a sticky caliper by feeling if one rotor or drum is much hotter than the others after a drive.

 

If you haven't done so, the stock rubber flex lines commonly wear internally and swell between the layers. This can cause all sorts of braking problems and they're a cheap and easy quick fix that's almost more common than the plenum gasket...which I'm surprised someone didn't already mention in your brake thread. LOL.

 

When mine did that, my left caliper was sticking. Could be your problem too.
I ended up replacing my entire front braking system....

 

The slide pins/bolts like to freeze up also.

 

I had this exact problem earlier this year it was in fact the caliper...$20 fix

 

As the answers pile up...I recommend an overhaul. Remove the front wheel, calipers, and rotors. You can replace the flex lines, check the calipers for seized pistons, and replace the slide pin bolts if the stock ones are corroded. Have the rotors checked and turned if needed...possible replaced. Put everything back together and do a proper bleed.

 

I had this exact problem mine was the flex line mine did not look swollen it would let a little fluid through but not return. I replaced my caliper first and had problems bleeding and like i said mine was the flex line.
