Car swerves/jerks to the right while braking hard

[IAmTheNight]

What's the condition of the pads? Any unevenness at any wheel?

Is that the same as the radius rods? Sorry for the noob questions, i'm so out of this shit.

Yeh I really meant to say radius rod but I forgot the word

happened to me once, it was just a low tire

I just got through with this crap
Try the tires
Caster being out by .5 of a degree causes cars to pull

Jack up the front, remove both front wheels and check the brakes. Most likely the issue is with the front-passenger brakes, but use the front-driver side to compare it to. Look for seized brake pistons in the caliper or seized slide pins (part of caliper bracket assembly). Comparing inner and outer brake pads for flat/even wear is key. If a brake pad is not wearing flat, you have a seizure issue, as explained before.

Also, both brakes are released, both rotors should rotate with similar resistance. If this is what you did before and that is why you claim "when brakes were released they rotated fine", then I'd inspect the caliper bracket slide pins. That is more than likely why when you actuate braking, it pulls. Seized caliper pistons usually generate high wear and a lot of heat even while driving with brakes not applied.

thanks everyone, im just an idiot for not even looking. i overlooked simple shit thinking someone else couldnt have fucked up some dumb stuff. all it was, was just a way loose radius rod... both actually, but the passenger, way more.

brakes straight as an arrow now, no hands


now its onto a p72 and a tune

Yeh, I had a feeling thats what it was. Make sure you keep an eye on it after you tighten it up. For some reason after I tightened mine, in a few months it became loose again. What I did and what you can do to avoid any future problem is throw another nut behind the first nut to LOCK it in place. Its been tight ever since. Chill

Basically, you have some recent work done and someone did not reinstall things correctly. So this problem happened after some work. Much of this could have been stated originally for quicker resolution..FYI. Usually when issues arise after recent work is completed is due to bad work.
