Pulling Right

When I hit the brakes pretty quickly, my 91 z28 is pulling to the right pretty hard. I also notice when I'm stopped at a light and then let off the brakes to begin acceleration I hear like a metal on metal hum. I think I have a bad caliper on the driver side. Any thoughts? Thanks.

could be your caliper is sticking, could be your line is collapsing

i had a hard pull to the right while braking, i changed calipers and pads, issue remained, so i changed the rubber lines, haven't had it on the street since so i cant guarantee, but I'm pretty positive the line was collapsing

Re: Pulling Right

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought it might be but wanted to get a second opinion before I take it in to get fixed. Thanks again!
