QuestionThey pulled to the right. The right passenger side roter was badly grooved and the shoes on both sides were wore out, metal to metal. So far I have replaced one roter, both calipers, both shoes, and both brake lines. I noticed tonight that it is not pulling as it did but now there is a vibration when I brake. I have not looked at the back drums yet. That is my next project this weekend. I appreciate the info.
AnswerOK, Thanks for the info. So your brake hoses were definitly causing the pulling - not really a surprise, I've seen that many times.
As for the vibration, that sounds like a bad rotor - the back brakes are not likely to cause a vibration unless there is something really wrong with a drum, like a crack or a missing piece! But a front rotor will cause a vibration if there is any defect at all in the surface.
If they are thick enough to turn again, I'd have a brake shop check them for hard spots or warping. If anyone has over torqued the lug bolts, this will cause a warped rotor in a heartbeat! If this has happened to your car, you are going to have to either live with it, or find better rotors. At least the car will stop this way!
