Question Front Brakes 1992 G30 1 ton van

Have a problem with brakes pulling to one side. Replaced pads and scuffed rotors (not warped nor grooves). Based on the mounting design, can not tell how the calipers are suppose to "float" to allow to be even spaced over the rotor thus allowing the pads to have equal pressure and adjust for wear.



Thanks,
Pat

Sounds like you need to clean and rebuild the calipers... the adjuster pins are probably seized causing the pull to one side.

Thumbs up

The front brake calipers don't have slider pins. There are a Bendix design with v -channel at each end.
The problem was a collasped brake hose from the hard line to the caliper. Replaced the hose an no more pull.
