Lately when I have been driving and hit the brakes the truck pulls to the right. Its not too bad, but noticeable. What could cause this? Im not very good with brakes. Im not sure what to look into. Last time I had the pads off they looked good and the rotors but that was maybe 10k miles ago
Left front brake may not be applying adequate pressure. Inadequate braking on one side can cause it to pull in the opposite direction. You have to check both sides.
Thats what I was thinking as well. How can I check for sticking calipers or one not getting the pressure?
Lift the front to get both tires off the ground. Spin the tires individually and compare drag. Then have someone gently apply brake and compare the drag. This should help determine which side is causing problem.
With tires removed you can also watch how the calipers are working.
this is the problem! your left slide pins are sticking or frozen and when you brake only the right side is braking thus causing the pull. take those babies apart and unfreeze and clean them. you might have to get a new caliper mounting bracket and slide pins if its too nasty.....
