Cheers All!
I recently rebuilt my front calipers with new pistons, rubber rings and dust boots. The interior of the caliper was fine. I replaced all fluid and performed a proper four point brake bleed + the clutch. The steering toe in was also set.
The problem, while braking at moderate to high speed the car veers to the right. Yikes!
The only thing that was not replaced were the flexible brake hoses, which seem fine. Nor were the newish pads replaced.
There was some brake fluid leakage onto the right pad before rebuilding, but cleaned with brake cleaner.
Can anyone offer things to check for. Are those pads permanently bad if they were exposed to brake fluid?
