1999 F-250 7.3 diesel 4x4 extended cab..When braking it pulls to the left. I've changed the front pads, turned to rotors, changed the hoses on both sides, changed calipers on bith sides, changed the shoes in the rear and yet it still pulls to the left. I am at a loss as to what to do next.
Has anyone else had this problem ? And how do I correct it ?
Thanks.
Robert

Check the alignment.

Was the roadbed slanted. Most roads are sloped at 2% from centerline. If you were in a slight turn there may have been somre superelevation. If the road is divided the slope may run outside or inside depending.

Tire wear pattern can also cause this

It's not the road.
When you step on the brakes it will try to turn left so you'd better be ready.

Definitely check alignment. I went through all the same steps as you on my sons truck, rotors, pads, calipers all new and it still pulled. I had it aligned and its not crooked any more!

Does it have 4 wheel ABS? Had a Suburban one time and the wheel speed sensors were messed up causing the ABS to kick in on one side and make it pull to one side. Solution-trade for a F350 PSD.
