Brakes seem to be going??

Ok I just took my car out for a spin and noticed that my brakes are acting up. When I step on the brakes it pulls hard to the left. I know my alignment is off a bit but when I push the brakes they feel like they are not there..Maybe there could be air in the lines? or is the nut too tight on the spindle?? I know I have had one of those go on me before and that is not fun..last year I made sure that they were loose enough. If anybody can help me out here I would appreciate it. thanks

Did you just re-do your brakes recently? Bleed them, check the nut you mention and bearings, and then it may be a warped rotor I'd guess...

Sounds like another collapsed brake hose! https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=173274

Everyone here should have replaced those hoses with new ones by now!! Old brake hoses = brittle rubber = clogged hose = bad brakes.
