This is not a political comment. Since I took her off the jack stands this spring she is pullin to the left when I apply the brakes, did not do this when I put her away for the winter. Noticed some break seppage on the right so I just replaced the caliper seals on the right, some what better but still pullin. Any ideas?

Change the pads too? A bad hose will do the same. Front bushings o.k? it would be a good idea to go ahead and do the other side as well. ( that's what we're taught, but I've fudged before.)

Mine is pulling left slightly all the time, but I believe it might be tire wear.
 
Everything is new in the suspension arena so I will change the right side. Pads are new on both sides, I had some problems in the past putting the seals in not being able to properly set the retaining ring so I possibly have the left side buggered up as well. Found an easy way to set the retaining at Geralds Garage using a bearing race, couldn'e be easier.

I can't remember how I did mine. Motorcycles had a problem with corrosion behind the seals (aluminum calipers) making the brakes drag. Check the seal groove well for trash/debris. I use a dental pick.

I think I just placed tha caliper over a board and pressed down to seat the ring but I'm not sure. ( w/o the piston installed.)

If you haven;t done the hoses yet it might be a good idea. I've had mine clog after a winter storage. They're cheap too. Do all three.
