Brake job, now brakes pull the car left

to me sounds like the brakes were not bedded properly due to lack of pressure caused by air bubble in the brake lines.

i would remove all the pads and clean the pad surface using sand paper, bleed the brakes, and re-bed. should work.

UPDATE:

Thank you for all the heads up. At this point I think things have gotten slightly better for my brakes but there is still something a bit wrong here.

I took the following steps to help resolve:


1. I broke down the front right caliper but noticed nothing out of the ordinary. All four pistons were able to be pushed in/out by hand without much binding - rules out any caliper siezure. I checked the wear even-ness and rotor for antyhing out of the ordinary but found symetry and evenly worn parts everywhere indicating no binding.

After doing this the problem was still apparent.

2. I bled the rear-left outside then inside followed by the front-right outside then inside calipers. I noticed no trace of airbubbles nor pedal feel changes.

After doing this the problem was still apparent.

3. I got real mad about this whole spiel and stomped on the brakes all the way to the floor with both feet about ~10 times while the car was running by stationary. The funny thing is, this seemed to partially do the trick! its not 100% perfect as the car still drifts slightly left, but its about 75% better than before to the point where I dont get surprised then I press the pedal hard anymore.

Do I maybe have a collapsed or kink in one of the brake lines?

Any thoughts?

Nice Find

This is what I meant about pressing hard on the break. I wasn't clear in my first post.
