Hey guys, I need some info. I have a 77 Corvette that has a fairly new brake system on it. I have replaced everything at one time or another! My question is, what is wrong when I push firmly on the brake pedal the car pulls really hard to the right and then straightens out quickly. Is it the right caliper sticking or the left is just wore out. I don't want to replace both as they're very expensive. Thanks for the input.....CR
 
Sounds like the right one is coming on as it should, the left is slow. But when it does apply it works ok. Take a look at the left hose, it maybe delaminating and causing a partial blockage. Also know as a pregnant hose. If the hose looks good, I'd say the left piston is starting to seize up a bit.
 
Thanks Sniper, I posted on a few other sites as well and most everyone seems to think it's the hoses. So I'll be changing them as soon as I get the time. Thanks for responding.[cl.........CR
