Disc Brakes Question
My truck has disc brakes on the front and for some reason, after sitting for 10-15 years, the passenger side brake decides to bite harder than the drivers, causing it to lock up easily and pull the truck to the right when braking...
how hard is it to adjust this? |

Re: Disc Brakes Question
My first thought is unequal line pressure. If your soft lines can be swapped side to side, try that. If they are old just replace them. Summit racing sells high pressure stainless braid for a reasonable price.

Re: Disc Brakes Question
Probably the mount bolts that the calipers slide on. They get gummed up and the calipers don't bite equally. My blazer was doing that really bad. I replaced the bolts with new, and lubed up the slide points and now they work great. I also had to replace the pads because they were worn unevenly.
