Brake Questions
Hello, I have a 1999 F150 Supercab, 2wd. I just replaced the front rotors, calipers, and pads. Before I did this, the front right caliper was locking up completely. Now, after the new stuff is installed, the truck pulls very hard to the left when braking. The harder you brake, the harder it pulls left. What should I look at next?

The right side is not doing any braking.
Have you bled the air out good on both sides?
If the right side still has air, it is compressing with brake application.
The left side is all fluid. Fluid does not compress so applies pressure to the caliper as it should.
Both sided have to brake evenly or you get pulling.
Good luck.

Replace the rubber hose on the right side. It has failed internally and is blocking fluid flow.
Might as well replace both of them...
If it were air in ANY of the lines, you'd have a spongy pedal along with the braking symptoms.
