Thought I would post this so it might help someone.
I have been working on a pickup we bought last fall.
While working on it I noticed that the right front wheel seemed a little harder to spin than the left front. When I got the work done on the truck that I wanted to do I took it for a ride to check it out. I did a real hard stop and it pulled to the left bad.
So thinking the right front caliper's piston was sticking and making the left front do all the braking I put a new right front caliper on it.
Another ride pull to the left bad
So I thought, the calipers are only $40 I will put a new left front caliper on.
Another ride pull to the left bad
Next day after work I look at all the steering components real good. change the steer tires side to side. remove rear brake drums check all the parts in there for wear, missing parts and froze up parts. All looks good.
Another ride pull to the left bad.
Called mechanic friend
Tell him everything
He said Mike your right front brake hose is collapsed
Next day put two new brake hoses on and take it for a ride.
Stops straight as a arrow
It's more common than you might think.
Thanks for that , never heard of that before.
