Starting to Pull

I was driving home yesterday and noticed that the steering started pulling to the right while braking. Just started it! Havent' hit, bumped or run over anything in a while. Well, there was this drunk, never mind. It's been muddy around here, could dirt, rotor dust etc. cause this problem? Rotors and pads are six months old and are in mint condition.

If an inspection shows everything to be in proper working order, then I'd drive it a day or two and see if it clears up. If it doesn't remedy itself, then it's possible you have a warped rotor or some other problem. Even "new" components can be prone to early damage.

They were replaced May of 03'. I had one rotor warp on 93'. It's not a hard pull. Just when your fixing to stop, steering gives a tug on my hands. I think I'll try and bleed them and see if that helps.

Mine did the same thing. I bled the brakes and as Igot to the front wheel in the direction of the pull I found a broken vaccuumline on that wheel. I think it made my hub lock on that side causing it to pull.
