I did a search and found nothing close to what I'm experiencing. 88 Camaro with 4 wheel discs with a posi rear. Car is not an IROC. When I bought the car it pulled hard right while driving and when braking (extremely hard pedal with no travel) almost made a left turn. The front calipers were frozen so I replaced the entire front set up (calipers, pads, rotors). Now it only goes slightly right while driving and slightly left while braking. It seems like after it goes left something releases and it travels back to center. I'm not sure if this means anything but before I replaced the front the pads were up against the rotors and I checked out the back and it's the same way. The car sat for a while before I bought it. Are my rears frozen, too? Or do you think I just have an alignment issue? By the way, the pedal feels fine at this point. Thanks.

 

Brake hoses are almost always the culprit in cases such as yours.

Thanks. I'm going to check that out next week when I finally have another day off. Do you think they're clogged or rotted out or what? I know the fronts are fine because those bled without an issue.

 

The line often acts as a check valve. While fluid passes through, as in bleeding, it won't return and keeps some pressure on the pad, thus the pulling to left or right. If the lines are original, they would be 20+ years old. Probably time for a change.

Ok. Thanks so much. That makes a lot of sense because that's exactly how it feels. Hopefully it's just some hoses. I find the prices of rear calipers ridiculous. Should I go ahead and replace the front hoses, too?

 

I would.
