problem is -approaching a bend / or somtimes going straight ahead and applying my foot brake to stop the car sometimes it pulls severly to the right or
sometimes to the left , but applying the foot brake foot brake couple of times slowly seems to fix it . but it unexpected can can happen any time.
but normaly it drives fine ,if tha makes sense !
i hope some out there can sort it .
thanks

tracking/wheel alignment/suspension issues?
At a guess mate i'd say a sticking brake calliper piston/pistons, which sticks when you brake normally so it pulls to the side, but under heavy braking it has enough pressure to force the piston out so it brakes more even? You'll probably find when you do the pads it'll be fine for a bit, until the pads start to wear then it'll start to happen again? so they might just need a good service?
Here you go mate have a little read of this, it'll explain it a lot better than me about the caliper service, :laugh:
CLICK ME?
It sounds like the pistons could do with a clean, so that there moving freely within the caliper itself?
The new pads should help, but you'll probably find it'll return after a bit of use when the pads wear down again?
.
pistons dont really suffer from sticking mate wouldnt hurt to clean them though, but the slides do seize a lot......
i'm a toyota tlt mate cleaned up/replaced many slides.
