Good Morning,
I'm new here, relatively new to the Tr6, and a far cry from an experienced mechanic, so please forgive my ignorance....
I recently replaced my unmolested, but quite worn 1971 Tr6, with a previously frame off restored 69. The car was completely restored in 1999, but has been sitting since 2006. Just got it on the road this year, but after fixing one problem, 3 new ones come up...lol.
My current problem is a severe brake pull to the right. My first thought was a frozen caliper on the left. I inspected the left side. The pistons move quite freely. The brake pads look brand new, as well as the rotor. The brake hose is new steel braided. I cleaned and reassembled. Pull still as bad as ever. I looked at the right side. Excellent condition as well. I bled all brakes - no air, but good fluid flow. Problem still there. Where do I go next????
I do have severely worn lower a arm bushings and some minor play on the inner tie rod of the right side. Could this be causing it? The a arm bushings were bad before the pulling started. One more thing, on a drive up the road, someone pulled in front of me and I braked very hard (skidded). Right side caliper did not release. I could not drive, so I pulled over. I tried to limp home and within about a half mile it freed up on its own.
Please help!
