Brakes.... Pulling to Right
I have allready bleed the brakes on my DI,
I have noticed its pulling to the right under braking..
I figured the drivers front might need to get bled again, causing the passenger front to grab more, thereby pulling to the right..
I did this and found no air whatsoever, and the braking was exactly the same, I decided it was time to replace the brakepads, and figured I would address it when I did the brake pads.
Today I had to pull the right rear off to get a puncture patched and noticed that the rotor was not as shiny as I thought it should be, it looks like it hasnt been engageing..
I remember my budy telling be that we should bleed the right rear again after we bled the drivers front, because he said that one could cause it to pull to the right, he said something about the drivers front and passneger rear were connected and that air in one of them would effect the other..
Here is a pic of the rotor
Opinions???
Somebody else was telling be it was probably a bad brakeline..
Anyhow.. could someone post a link for the one man bleeder that works for the older DI's??

That rotor just looks like it sat for a long time and rusted really bad. It is just working the pits out. I would check all of your rotors to see what kind of shape they are in. Especially the back sides of the front rotors (kinda hard). If the rears were that pitted, the fronts may be as well. It is probably just trying to bed in again. I have a pair of rear rotors that are borderline and a set of pads that have 10K on them if you ever want them. I put Brembo cross drilled rotors and EBC greenstuff pads on. A lot better now....
The rear rotors are a PITA to change. If you do, I would go back with good ones....

Then I would do new pads ASAP. you may be eating into the backside of the rotors. Midas had done my truck 7 months before I aquired it, and I was eating metal a week after I bought it. The pads are super easy to do. after the wheels, it is just 2 cotter pins and they drop right in. Autozone pads are pretty dusty on the front, but not too bad on the rear. They will only last you a year at most, but if you are saving for new rotors and good pads, they will do in a pinch. They used to carry ceramic pads, and they were great..
