Car pulls right when I brake!

When I brake my car pulls right. I don't have much problem w/my steering wheel shaking and my rotors are fine. My front brakes are very low as well. Any ideas?

You right side caliper might be stuck. Have it looked at by the dealership or a trustworthy mechanic. Expect to replace your rotors as well.

probably your brakes, 200 for front, about the same for rear (w/ front and rear discs) that's including rotors.....have your alignment check at the same time....i'm not sure on the rears w/ drums (LS)....not too big of deal anyway....just basic maintenence

Like the other people said it's probably something with your brakes. Make sure your caliper has free play side to side. Does your car pull to the right when driving it any other time?? Also, and I know this sounds dumb, but check the tie rod ends to make sure those are tight because I had a friend that had his come loose and his alignment only got messed up under braking.

Re: Car pulls right when I brake! (TegRun)

Had my rotors resurfaced a few months ago, and my calipers are moving fine. What should I start with..new brakes? I need to get this problem fixed..my DA is killing me!
