brakes pulling to one side

Post by cococola »

I went on a rare longer journey today in my Traveller and when I brake ,especially from higher speed the car pulls to the left,then right as I slow down.The shoes are about 6 months old and the brakes were adjusted correctly at the same time.
Would I be correct in thinking that I may have a wheel cylinder that maybe seized/seizing please?

Start with tyre pressures? Or even tyre damage? Loose fixings?

Sounds like a wheel cylinder on the right hand front is semi-seized so that it lags behind those on the left. Also check the flexible hose in case it has started to collapse, restricting the fluid.

I think most probably the wheel cylinders as main comments so I will investigate over the weekend.
Many thanks for everyone's suggestions. :wink:
