Jeep pulls to the left hard when braking

[conlopez]

My Jeep has always pulled left when braking, but after installing the Black Magic Brake Pads and new rotors the effect is amplified because of how much better they are. (awesome product @mrblaine)

I replaced the front brake hoses, rotors, calipers and pads. In the back I just replaced rotors and pads. I still have a leaking proportioning valve, I could not find any brake fluid compatible o-rings that @mrblaine suggested. I still have the new one coming though.

I am thinking it's one of the rear calipers is braking harder than the other causing it to pull? Or maybe one of the rear hoses is bad? All 3 hoses are on their way also.

Imfared temp gun?

That will tell you everything you need to know

Good luck

what condition are your knuckles in? Look at the contact point between the knuckle and the brake pads.
The knuckles wear and get a divot in them. This can cause the brake pads to hang up on the knuckle.
resulting in a pull to one side.

Also check your front end for worn/ loose components.

I'm having a "pulling while slowing" issue right now and wondering if it might be the result of worn shocks?

Anyway: subbed for solution-hunting.

Maybe, but it will be the opposite side (the one that's not braking) that has a problem.

Just wondering, was the sway bar disconnected, and the right or left is slightly down hill or off camber our tj behaves as if it had a front break problem. Also once it signaled we had an early rear axle seal leaking..

One of the rear rotors was running 20 degrees cooler, replaced rear calipers and it seems to have fixed the problem.

But I took a chunk out of one of the pads by accident so there's that.
