    67 Disc Brake Question

    Just recently my 67 has been pulling hard to the right under heavy braking. My initial assumption was that there might be some air in the left front caliper that needed to be bled out, but unfortunately that is not the case. There were no air bubbles in the system and after bleeding I still have the same hard pulling to the right. The calipers were rebuilt with stainless inserts about 15 years ago and there are no system leaks. In reverse the car breaks fine.

    Is it possible that a left front caliper piston is binding? What other potential issues might I have?

    Check your left front brake hose, it is most likely pluged up.

      Mark,

      If the hoses are old you might have one that is collapsing.
