Nick Cassaro

I am new and dont know exactly this fourm works. I also if anyone knows
why a 34 ford with new recent hyd brakes would pull to the right when you apply brakes?
thanks for any help Nick

 

You should get all sorts of answers AFTER you do an Intro.

 

Perhaps the brakes are out of adjustment or there might be a wheel cylinder leaking fluid onto the shoes. If it pulls to the right that means the right side brakes are working and the left are not. Pull the left front wheel and brake drum and check for a leaking wheel cylinder .

 

Should have one long shoe, and one short show per side.
The material in the linings is different.

Check the size of the wheels cylinders too.

 

Nick, you've been screwing with cars for over 50 years whats this brake BULL S...T

 

Since you asked. Here's how it works. Go to the intro section and introduce yourself to the forum. Little bit about yourself, kind of car, etc. Then start asking questions. If you don't you'll be missing out on a lot of helpful knowledge and just get a lot of grief.

 

intros are important. I'm going to do one when I hit 10,000 posts.

 

Ha!


Nick, my first thought is adjustment, second thought is wheel cylinder, third thought is did somethin pinch the brake line (not uncommon on custom cars), fourth thought is does one wheel have good shoe contact and the other side REALLY bad (needs shoes arced). Last one not likely but possible i guess

LOL.....I agree. And personally I could give rat's a**. Just trying to help the guy out since "doing an intro" around is such a big freakin' deal.

 

For a split second I thought it said Nickey Camaro and thought "pretty rad name", then I realized I'm a dumb ass that needs to wear glasses.

 

Nick, Are the rakes Bendix style or Lockheed style? Make sure brake shoes are installed correctly. Bendix- long shoe to the rear. Lockheed- long shoe faces forward.
