Sum times when i brake, my car pulls to the left hand side before coming to a stop. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Could be a number of things:

Failed brake pads or calipers
Worn suspension bindings
Steering linkage problems
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Defective tires



First, look at the tyre pressures. Then check the brake pads. Look around the R/H caliper and brake lines for leaks. Check the treading on all the tyres for abnormal wear.
You may find yourself also having to bleed the brakes to finally cure it.

A common problem is a brake caliper getting stuck (on the front right), u need to grease up the caliper. But be careful not to get grease near the brake pads or rotors.

If its still doing it, get a wheel alignment. then get a mechanic to check the suspension and brakes if still doing it.

check your control arm bushes that might be the cause...
