Hello all, finally saved some cash to do the ball joint on my truck, went pretty smooth, took 3 hours to get drivers side apart, 2 hours back together and half that for pass side. Paid about 350 in parts and 50 to a machine shop to press them in and out. Now when I brack to a stop the truck pulls hard to the left. Already made sure rotor and pads are clean and cleaned pins and bores, any ideas before I start replacing parts I dont need? Truck braked fine before ball joints were done. Thanks Ryan

 

some thing ant right you should look it over again and make sure everything is in the right spot its pretty easy to screw up if you had too many cold beverages, did you open the brake lines? jack it up spin the wheel and have someone apply the brakes gotta be something simple good luck and oh ya i like your username

 

Never opened the lines, tried spinning the tires while off the gound, no dragging and both sides seem to stop the same. I'm kinda leaning toward a calapsed line, dont know what would have made it go. Its cheapest to try first. Thanks about my user name, I'm a drywall finisher by trade. Ryan

 

Didn't notice yours till after that last post, pretty close aren't we.

 

Did you support the brake calipers while they were removed? If you let them hang by the brake hoses, one could have gotten damaged and is causing the problem.

 

yea I wired them up on top of the springs.

 

Still possible the hose could have cracked inside. Seen it happen several times, over the years, to vehicles I worked when I was at an auto repair shop.

 

i think i would start looking at the otherside just a thought
