Car Pulls Hard to the left
Question for you guys I have a 1982 Camaro and the car pulls extremly hard to the left. I replaced the pads, rotors, calipers, bearings & seals with new on both sides. Still have the same problem. Brake hoses are fine no leaks. Brakes have been bleeded. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Tire pressure is 35psi on all four wheels. Trying to get the problem fixed for the woodward cruise which is tomorrow. I am out of ideas what do you guys think.
Thanks,
Justin

Swap the tires from side to side. See if the problems stays or moves.
Brake hoses don't fail by leaking; they fail by becoming blocked, by rusting from the inside. What happens, is that they rust all the way closed, and then when you step on the brakes, a tiny amount of fluid is forced into the calipers, but it can't get back out; so the failed brake stays applied 100% of the time, except maybe for first thing in the morning, until the first couple of times you use them.

i'll second the brake hose replacement. the inside collapses and acts like a check valve, not letting the fluid return.
