Hi guys

My TD5 90 seems to be pulling to either side under braking. It was diving quite bad to the left yesterday. But today when double checking it I'm noticing it will also dive to the right. It shocked me a bit how severe to the left! I was braking a bit firm (spirited) but not ridiculous. The faster the speed the more noticeable I'd say it is.


-Calipers/pads and discs are all about 12 months old
-New shocks all round
-No leaks of any kind around any brake component
- all 4 tyres new in the last 18 months

I'm guessing this is suspension related? Either panhard rod or radius arms? I'm unsure how to check them or what actually looks worn though?

Any ideas please ?
 
What brand of callipers did you fit? If they’re cheaper ones, the pistons might be corroding on one side.
 
I misread it as pulling to one side. Perhaps the callipers are sticking on each side. Unlikely though.
 
To check pan hard rod bushes/fittings with engine running have someone waggle the steering wheel a bit left and right while you observe the ends of the rod. If there is movement of the rod [More than 2/3 mm ]in the bracket on the chassis or axle then bush and or the bolts that hold it are gone.
