85 e23 pulling when braking
Car is 1985 735i. Just replaced both front calipers. I have bled all wheels several times (pump and bleed, no pressure or vacuum). Pedal is soft and car will pull sharply to the right when the brake is applied. If I get right back on the brakes after the initial braking, the car does not pull nearly as bad. Had good fluid flow at all bleed points. Kept fluid in reservoir at all times.
Any ideas? Thanks. |

Did you also install new pads? Did you also flush and drain old brake fluid? It almost sounds like there is still air in the left side of brake system, or the pad sliding surfaces in the caliper are dry and need lubed. I would try to do a deep bleeding on it a time of two more, after checking these other items. Good luck, Tony.

I take it, it did not do it before the brake change?
