Bad Brake Hose?

My right front brake sticks a little bit and when you hit the brakes the car dives to the left. I put a new caliper on the rt side to no avail. I think it is a collapsed hose on the rt side. Just checking to see if this is what you guys think. Thanks

Scott

That would be a good guess. Think about replacing them with SS Braided Brake lines.

Scott, It definitely sounds like it could be a collapsed hose on the right side. I had the same problem and it was the hose.

DJP87Z28 and Frik92RS are right about replacing with SS braided lines. If you are going to the trouble of replacing a line and changing the brake fluid then why not upgrade them.

The difference in pedal feel when I put on Earls (EAR-28A190) kit was well worth it. Far more reassuring.

I also put earls lines on my car and couldn't be happier with them.

Here is a link to a thread about the lines.
