[QUOTE="98GTAZ, post: 1506258, member: 29480"] New to the forum as a registered user, but have consulted the threads a lot. I know brake pulling/caliper issues have been discussed, but I have a brake pull that does not seem caused by a caliper. I upgraded my 98 GT to Cobra brakes and now have a pull to the driver side. Calipers, hoses, and rotors were new from upgrade. Also replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides snd upgraded front sway bar. I have tested the calipers and hoses. I had both front tires off the ground. Wheels spin freely when brakes are off and are solidly braked when brake is applied. Hoses flow fluid well. Took wheels off and inspected rotors and pads with both showing no signs of uneven wear or other issues. Caliper pistons move freely. Are there other suspension or tire issues that can cause a pull while braking? The pull is not severe and there are no noises or burning/other smells associated with it. It is also not noticeable at highway speeds when braking from 65 to 45 for example. Most noticed under 40 mph and particularly noticeable when going from 10 mph to a full stop. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
