I just finished putting on new pads, rotors and calipers on my '84 Camaro. I also replaced the struts. After I got an alignment and took it on a road test. All appears to be working well until I push hard on the brakes. When I do the car pulls to the right. I bleed the brakes again, but the problem continues. The left caliper appears to be working fine. It is clamping onto the rotor. After I ran it there was a strange smell coming from the left brake. I'm not sure if it is oil that may have gotten on the pads or something more serious. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

 

As you were putting stuff together, did you spray the rotors and brake pad surfaces with brake cleaner and wipe them clean?

 

If all 4 brakes are functioning and none of the pads are dragging, replace the rubber soft lines. They get old and stretch out under pressure causing pressure drops and spikes that differentiate between the wheels.

 

Nice nice nice

 

Replace the rubber brake line.....

 

it does not take much oil on the rotor or pads to make it grab. could be the problem if u didnt clean them good. also parts that would let that side move under hard breaking like worn tie rod end, ball joint or a arm bushing will also do it. guys at the alignment shop should have tested these parts, do u know if they did? and yep check the hoses.
