Brakes pull right, new calipers, pads, and, lines

Hi new to the forum trying to find help. My 2001 4wd toyota tundra at 250k miles, pulls right when I brake. I just changed both calipers and it still does it, I went ahead and changed the pads while I did, rotors appeared to be fine. And it still does it. I took it to a brake shop to have everything inspected and they said it would be a matter of process of elimination and to change the lines, so I did that myself. Still does it. Suspension seems to be fine I just put a lift kit on and had and alignment done after but did not change the issue at all and my suspension seems to be in perfect condition when I took it apart. So new calipers, new pads, new lines, it is fully aligned, my suspension is good...and yes I've bled them. Any ideas before I go to a shop again? Thanks for anyone who took the time to read this

 

did you bed the pads? years ago I put brakes on my Camaro, didnt bed the pads. It stop poorly and pulled. 5 minute fix from my friend whom was a technician at a nearby chevrolet dealer. LOLs

 

Maybe a clog. Take the hose off the caliper and push hard on the brake pedal and blow it out. Maybe a fluid flush. Check the rear brakes as well.

 

Appearances can be deceiving. You have a braking problem and change everything but the rotors. Change the pads and rotors.

 

Correct, always change the rotors with pads.......but 1% chance that's the problem.

 

First off, welcome...now to your problem. This is a good read for your exact issue and gives you some stuff to check out...

I didn't see my issue.......every time I go by this one bar my truck vers to the right.

 

Good read. Especially after living ‘Brake Nirvana’ these past few days. Lots of info and variables in the equation.

 

Krispy Kreme is always good for solid a right turn.

 

@zombie all new lines. And @speedtre thank you that article seems to point me in the right direction, thanks for the help I'll update if I figure it out

 

I agree with @zombie and @PCJ, you should change the rotors cause you've updated everything else on the wheel brake wise. I would just go ahead and change the rotors and pads together (even though you just replaced the pads), cause it's not that expensive ($65 and up for rotors and pads) and easy to do...be sure to bed the pads.

Now, if your problem happens to be that your glazed a rotor with your old calipers that were sticking, this may solve your problem, if not, my money is on a worn suspension/steering part on the side your pulling to...good luck.

 

Try swapping tires see if the pull goes to the left

 

Recently have this same issue but mine occurred after a tire flip on new wheels. They might have kinked a brake line somehow. Don’t know if tires would only pull while breaking. ‍♂️ Still trying to figure it out. Don’t want to throw money brakes if I don’t need to. Let us know if you find the issue ! Thanks!

 

It was the tires, right side tires were balled on an edge

 

Sweet. Looks like time for a new set for me. Or my excuse but I’m almost positive I have this same issue. I have new upper control arms coming to help the geometry with the level kit up front and hopefully a little less tire wear. 285s this time. Lol

 

That sounds like a symptom of the problem that may contribute to the symptom of pulling to the right while braking, not the problem itself. Tires wear unevenly because there is a problem with the suspension/steering/alignment. After you add the new tires get it aligned and hopefully it's just an alignment issue and not a worn suspension/steering component that needs to be replaced.

 

@speedtre the ball came from a long time ago, I got the tires like that and the alignment was off, so I rotated the tires and had an alignment this is where they've sat since then.

 

Ok, well in that case, hopefully your done...

 

Hell yeah iv seeing it a bunch of times in the shop guys throw money at the brakes and then turns out they had a bad alignment !! I’m glad it worked man!!
