Tom17 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Okay so my 90 200tdi was pulling to the right while I was driving quite sharply I thought it was the wheel bearings so bought a full kit and left it with my uncle who is a mechanic... Upon inspecting he said the bearings were fine but my pads were metal on metal so he changed both fronts and I thought the problem was fixed but then driving it the problem began again noises from the from drivers side like before and pulling to the right? What could this be? My uncle seems to think the bearings are fine should I push him to change them anyway or could this be brake related? Any help would be much appreciated!

Tom17 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 My uncle thinks the brake pistons could be seizing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 could be a stuck or sticking caliper pistons, only way to cure that is to strip & clean the calipers, do both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 How much is it pulling?? Do the brakes feel hot if you coast to a halt??rear radius arm bushes being shot can easily cause some very strange handling characteristics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 squeaking could be a stone trapped in the caliper/disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'd be checking the rear radius arms bushes. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomark10 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 does it do it randomly or when you brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Mine was doing this for a while, fixed it by bleeding the brakes allot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
