Pull to the right when braking, cause? 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Rick on  Wed Jan 2 16:44 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Brickers:

My 745t is currently pulling to the right intermittently when I apply the breaks, more noiceably at highway speeds than during slower driving. Is this just uneven distribution or the sign of a larger issue? Need to bleed the lines? Uneven wear on the breaks?

My brakes also squeal continually, but this is a side issue that may or may not be related. Basically, my 745t had teh brakes done a while back. The mechanic at the time said the calipers were fine, we thought they were shot but went with his call, and the calipers ground the rotors smooth so the squeal continuously. I've been putting off replacing the rotors and dealing with teh squeal, but maybe this is related and I should replace them? Its only on the front end brakes that this smooth rotor is an issue.

The pull to one side leads me to believe it might be the fronts, but I guess it could just as easily be a rear pulling off to a side. I should also note that this has surfaced only 4 days or so after I got the tires balanced, and in teh process I had them switch the tires from one side to another (my rear rims are a little warped, so I have to keep them on the rear or I get steering wheel shimmy).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick
