Recently I did some quick maintenance on a P130 with single brake circuit. Among other things I found the car pulled quite severly to the left while braking, indicating lack of braking force on the right side.

I checked the calliper: all fine (rebuilds, 2 years old). Checked brake lines: all fine. Bleeded the brakes: all fine. Everthing looked to be all right but car still pulled heavily while braking.

I will do some more work on this car later on. In the meantime I could think of more things that can cause the problem, but actually could not think of any that I did not check. Suspension and wheel allignment are ok to.

Anything that I might be over-looking??
