Default 90 Si pulling to the right , bad !!!

These last couple of days , ive noticed that when i first start the car for the day , the first couple of times i apply the brakes it pulls to the right really bad . after running the car for a few minutes and making a few stops , it goes away . It only starts to pull right before i come to a complete stop ie. the last ten feet . Its as if the steering wheel got cranked all the way to the right. Anybody have any ideas as to what may be causing this ?

Sounds like ur left front caliper isent applying the brakes when you brake. Jack car up wheels off, and run engine in gear, and have somone apply brakes and observe.

the calipers are "sticking".
so when its cold the caliper is locked up, once it warms up it breaks free.

pull the calipers and rebuild them or get some "remaned" calipers, i think napa or auto zone offers a warrantee .
