Post Front Bracks

I need some help, my truck pulls to the left when I apply the brakes. I replaced the left front pads and found there was nothing left of the pads and it messed up the rotor so I had to have it cut. The right side pads were OK. After doing this it still pulls to the left.

When you do the brakes you have to do both right and left side. Do not just replace the pads on one side. I would replace the pads on the right side and have that rotor checked to.

If your car is still pulling to the left then you will probably have to replace or over haul the calibers.

I agree, always do both sides. It could be the piston sticking in the caliper or the caliper is sticking on the slid pins.
