Steering pulling to right when braking


gsumith

Question

Dear all,

looking for some clue from experienced or from experts

Car : Lancer box
Brake pads & liners replaced 6 months ago, at the same time overhauled the complete brake system.

Overhaul includes;

  1. polishing caliper pistons
  2. flushing brake oil line
  3. replaced new caliper washer
  4. replaced all washers (including oil seal)
  5. replaced most of the 'factory fitted' tiny winy parts also
  6. new master pump with servo (heavier)
  7. finally filled with fresh 'lockheed' oil

at the end did the air bleeding also.
Braking improved drastically, better than compared to my 2003 kia.

But one thing is persisted since then. when I apply brake car pulls to right. If I apply brake suddenly steering pulls to right heavily. So again visited the mechanic. As he suggested to replace the bearings, I've replaced the all 4 bearing in the front. still problem didn't solved at all.

Again took the car to the mechanic last week and replaced the caliper pistons with brand new one both side. Now the wheels can be spinned freely by hand (both wheels spins freely-almost same stoppage time)

But still steering pulls to the right heavily when applying brake.
Now I'm clueless. Please shed some experience and knowledge

Did you check,

  1. Brake hoses
  2. Worn or warped rotors
  3. Stuck Calipers
  4. suspension parts

these might be the problem that you are experiencing now

1.hope hoses are good since oil flows through both calipers without any issue

2. phased when I did the overhaul (forgot to mention above)

3.yup,but replaced with new one

4.not yet,can u xplain hw it wil contribute to sudden pulling

Well what i meant by suspension issues is in our cab with bigger wheels even in a small dip on the road the steering went to which ever side the dip on the road was. after a bit of inspection found a few bushes and the steering damper worn off. was replaced now that pull isnt prominent any more. so maybe you might be having a similar scenario 

also i remember someone telling that there is a limit on phasing a brake rotor,

i hope a more mechanically sounded expert will correct me on the above as well
