I have a 2000 ram 1500 van I have recently replaced both calipers and brake hoses. And also had the rotors turned and I still have the same problem! When have to do a hard stop van wants to pull to the left. This is why I replaced the brakes but the problem is still there any ideals what could be wrong

 

Same thing had happened to me but i havent done any maitenance yet on the braking
Components. If your lines,fluid, pads,calipers all replaced & no issues with handling components or tires and tire pressures maybe the master cylinder is something to consider lookin into?

 

inspect and adjust rear brakes.

Inspect strut rod bushings. They wear from the inside out and can appear fine but are all tore up inside.

These bushings are on the bar that goes from the lower control arm to the frame bracket behind the suspension.

Having a lot more weight on one side of the van than the other can cause pulling no matter what you do to the brakes.

 

I checked rear brakes and right rear wheel shoes are wasted so this weekend will be total rear brake job shoes springs adjusters wheel cylinders and drums looks like I'm going to be busy keep you posted

 

Well guys I've fixed the van I have deleted the abs system all together proportioning valve was 216 from dodge and the metering valve was 330 both parts are only available from dodge so I've put a manual adjusting proportioning valve in and have replaced both caliper hoses and all lines that needed replaced and everything is running great

 

Don't you have any salvage yards in your neighborhood? When my ABS went bad I got everything I needed from the local U-Pull yard for like $30 and I was able to keep the system OEM so I don't get any ABS or Brake lights on the dash.

 

Can you say, "bulb removal?"

 

You had me thinking you don't do those kinds of things.

 

I wouldn't, nor would I disable the ABS. I was simply offering a simple solution to those that would chose to do what I would not.

 

Well no abs lights and brakes work fine abs is only on the rear and they have not locked up at all. Just like driving a car before abs came along.
