Problem when Braking ITR - Throws to the right Dramatically! Need Advise
Dear ITR's:
I have a ITR 2000. One month ago I took it to warranty with the following problem. When I brake hard, or emergency braking from 60 mph or higher, the car pulls to the right dramatically.
I took it to warranty and the blamed at the beginning the steel braided brake lines and porterfield pads. Sure of having a solution, the pads and lines where replaced by factory parts. After the replacement, the car was still doing the problem. Then they replaced the Brake pump, ABS pump, Calipers and measured the fluid pressure to each caliper. They replenished the Brake fluid, but nothing made the problem go away. Also wheels and tires where changed and rotated.
After, that claimed that the measurements of the front suspension was .10 CM off on caster en the right wheel, which is still under specifications. They took the car to a car shop to measure and put the car under specification by adjusting the crossmember. The car was taken back to warranty and aligned but the problem was still there. It has been a month and a half since they started working with the car.
Does anyone has an idea of what can be causing this problem. The car has not been on an accident or sustained any hard hit on the suspension.
If someone has an idea or solution from previous experiences please contact me ebelville@usa.net or leave a post here.
Thanks,
Everett
