I have a problem that's frustrating me. I have 99 Toyota 4runner v6 4x4 with abs. My problem is that when I'm braking slightly downhill my 4runner pulls left and when depressing the brake pedal it pulls back. It feels not 100% safe to drive. It feels like one side pulls harder or is braking more then the other. I have changed out calipers and new pads and I cut the rotors. I jacked it off the front wheels and checked to see if there is any play. And there isn't. Got an alignment. I cleaned out all abs sensors. There isn't any engine check light on or abs light. The only different I got spindle from junkyard cause of car accident. Is there a different in years on the abs ring with teeth that it reads off? Or I may have a faulty abs speed sensor? Master cylinder? Abs pump? I'm guessing already..help..

 

It is quite possible you have a suspension problem instead of a brake issue

This only happens on a downgrade ??

Never happens on a flat level stretch of road??

Are your front tires wearing even??

You say nothing of do anything to the rear brakes .

Even worn rear suspension parts can cause a vehicle to pull when braking.

Most often brake problems are all the time

If it pulls to one side it is constant

This by chance is not on the same stretch of road it happens on every downhill grade.

I have seen roads pitched so bad it makes one wonder.

Bad shocks

If you replaced a spindle what else on that side was damaged?? Just which side??

Commonsense tells me the left!!

Just who did the alignment did you see the numbers??



You can check your brake application with 4 pressure gauges to the 4 brakes.

Is it possible if it is a brake problem that you have a crushed brake line on the damaged side that was not replaced causing that caliper to not function at 100%

 

This happens all the time. Tires are even on both sides alignment is good. Rear suspension is good. New shocks and sway bar bushings. changed out both side front brake hoses and flushed out the system good. I will check the brake pressure on all 4. How do you do that?
