Car pulls to left when i stop?
When i push the brakes the car pulls hard to the left. I was thinking that i overtightin the caliper but im not sure. I just rebuilt the right caliper and the left one look ok. So what can the problem be? This happened after i put the new power booster, master cylinder, and brake pads in.
one possible solution would be if you let the right caliper hang by the hose it might have collapsed internally, which happens quite often(even if you didnt, it is still quite possible) that would be the first thing that I replaced. What I believe is happening is that the left caliper is working correctly and that the right caliper is not compressing to hold the pads against the rotor.
Just my 2 cents but usually,with a pull similair to this, start by replacing the hose opposite the direction the car pulls.

I agree with mechanicalmehem.. the right hose sounds like the culprit. Don't let the m/c run dry!!! If both brake hoses are the original 1990 factory ones, you should replace them both- they're 12 years old. Be safe.
CHECK OUT THE ROTORS THEY MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED OR CUT. CHECK YOUR SWAY BAR AND THE TIE ROD ENDS. THE HOSES AND CALIPER PROBLEMS SOUND GOOD ALSO, BUT WHILE YOUR DOWN THERE CHECK ALL OF YOUR SUSPENSION
