hey guys ,why is it that most thirdgens tend to go to the right or left when braking med to hard?i got an aligment like 3 weeks ago and car go str8 untill i hit a bump or brake as describe.wat can it be?

 

Sticky or frozen caliper/Clogged Brake line

Had same problem when I bought my car,Ended up being a clogged brake line.It pulled HARD to the left eveyr time brakes were hit.

 

I would agree with the above, either a clogged line or a sticky caliper. Could also be air in one of the lines but you would typically notice that with a spongy pedal.

 

pedal is fine, rotors, bearing and calipers are like 9 months old and also the driver sode brake hose but the pass is the same one that was on there.

 

You should've done both brake hoses at the same time... when you slam on the brakes (on an empty highway!), which side does the car jerk to?

If it jerks to the left, then the right hose is clogged.

I suppose you could've gotten air in your brake lines too... might as well change that other hose and re-bleed the whole system. And don't forget about your third brake hose (body to rear axle)!!!

 

i havent tried braking hard on an empty road.but it usually pulls to the driver side(left side right)?wil that 3rd brake hose affect the pulling to a side?

 

Although the same effect, the brake lines have been known to expand...I'd be looking at the line you did not replace.

 

i plan on getting steel b lines when i have some extra cash.but my buddys car has the same problem and he has s.b lines and his car was profess bleed and still does it wat can that be?will the car do the problem if lets say ur b joints and c bushings are destroyed?

 

Well sure...if your suspension is sloppy...i/e the wheels cannot hold true...when you apply the brakes the tires will go there own way....but usually you'd notice a suspension like that in normal driving as well.

 

well i i know my b joints are a lil bad and my s.box has some play in it.because when i got an aligment the mechanic said that chevy are known to have worn out s.boxes.he told to get a new one for 150 bucks.

 

When I replaced my ball joints they were about 40 bones a piece. That was some time in the mid to late 90's at cost. Don't try to replace them without a ball joint press cause you will never install them correctly without it. My car was a day and night kind of thing after they were fixed.

 

Wasn't my brakes that were the issue for the ball joints, was handeling. Steering was all over the place unless you were on a perfect road. Didn't affect the brakes at all. If your front end is fine then I would go after the brakes on the opposite side of the direction of pulling.

 

alright guys i'll check up all those things
