i take an autos class about 30 mins from my house and before the end of last semster i did an alignment to get the wheel and tires stright... well when i would let go of the wheel the truck would go to the right. and when i would hit the brakes it would pull to the right very very hard. So i took the tire off and holy crap talk about warped rotor!! so i check the calipers to to make sure they werent sticking they pushed back very easy and the brake pads are still fine. But when i put the new rotor on the truck still pulls to the right and really bad when i hit the brakes.... any ideas?

97 F-150 4.6L 2wd 130,000 miles i did brake pads n rotors at about 115,000 miles and i just replaced the passenger side rotor the other night. Any help would be awesome!

 

How is your brake fluid? Brown and nasty or clear?

 

its still clear from what i can tell. why?

 

New rotors call for new pads, the pad is shaped to the old rotor and with a true face on the new one the pad is conformed to the warped one.

 

The reason it pulls to the right when you brake could be because the left side isn't doing it's share of the braking. I would find a dirt or gravel surface and brake hard to a quick stop from about 10 MPH and look at the skid marks.

 

humm never thought of this....when i looked at the brake pads we took a stright egde and they were still flat. but ill give it a shot on some dirt. Thanks again guys

 

Take a wire brush on a grinder and clean up all the contacting surfaces. make sure the everything moves freely.
