Dutchboy,
I had a pulling left issue after all my brake nonsense.
it would pull hard left or not pull at all . I took the front wheels off and removed the pads,pins and shims. I wire wheeled the pins back to a shine, emory clothed the calipers where the pads sit and brushed antisieze on the pins, the calipers, and the ships where the pistons press.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

Bobzombie....thanx!
Makes good sense. Someone awhile back told me,even though all my parts are new,the actual caliper sometimes gets held up on brake caliper assembly to support bracket.
I know what I'm doing this weekend!
Thanx bro...I'll get back to ya Monday and let ya know how things are.

The caliper is actually stationary. The pistons move the pads on the pad pins.
If you used aftermarket pads the shims can sometimes pinch themselves on the pins causing the pads to not move or to move less then the otherside. Antisieze will keep them movin free and keep even braking up front!!!


EDIT: 100th post WOOHOO
