Put it all back together (front left wheel bits) and blead the brakes all round. Taken it for a test drive and it pulling agresivly right under braking. I cant figour it out; the front disc and pads are fine, and the rear drums seem to be fully functional too.

Anything else that can cause this? Was thinking maybe damaged brake lines on the left side.

Tyres is a thought. Mine was pulling to left last week, checked everything, didn,t cross my mind to check tyres till last minute.Nearside was really low.

Not that. I think its summin complicated. Also when i blead the rear left, there was alot of air in the line. Its all out now, but perhaps theres a leak. Could be that theres oil on the rear drum, but this would seam odd as the fluid level has never fallen.

check for a sticking piston in the caliper and re-bleed

check no oil on pads

check bushes and suspension

i had a similar problem - it was either a loose panhard ballljoint or very worn rear pads.

sorted balljoint and new rear pads - problem gone

i had this when i rebuilt my hub - i had handled the disc with slightly oily hands, made a big difference. Took it to a wide empty ish space and jumped on the brakes for 30 mph a few times, while clinging to the steering wheel, that fixed it.

Ive just fixed a loose bearing on the steering piviot. I went down the road earlier in second with my right foot to the floor and my left on the brake to try and burn off any oil. It helped, think it burned off the greece from when i re-fitted the disc, but not fixed. Ive also changed all the bushes in the suspension. Will try ajusting rear drums next, the left rear seems to bite after the others.
