Braking and caliper question

saxmanuk · Aug 16, 2011

After a quick search, no definitive answer to my query..
Under braking my 110 pulls to the right! Does this mean (in simple terms) that my left hand braking system is less efficient then the right?
Also after a quick check, my calipers are dirty and rusty..anybody fitted a refurb kit instead of changing the whole caliper? My discs are fine and I have new pads.

you can get new calipers cheap now i would get a pair with new discs and pads,if you want numbers for prices let us know ,it can often be as cheap to fit vented on as is only caliper and disc that are different from solid and vented calipers are the same price if not cheaper often

Many thanks, yes please to your offer....vented discs sound good with new calipers

all prices would need to have vat added on front vented disc ftc902 from £15, caliper vented seb500460 +seb500470 from £32 ,pads stc2952 from £12, pin kit £2, remove mud shield and sling it i allways do discs are often worse on that side,you could get new bolts but more than likely your old ones okay refit with locktite
