Default Cars pulls to the left when brakes applied

Bought this car about 2 years ago, failed inspection. Car pulls to the left when brakes are applied. We have replaced both front hoses, front calipers, both rear calipers, new front pads, brake master cylinder. Had put new rotors on last year and replaced the front struts/shocks. Does anybody have any suggestions on what it could be, maybe a front rack ????

Make sure parking brake cable is connected on both rear brakes.

Check camber and toe-in.

Check your shocks. If they are adjustable and set very unevenly, or if one corner has blown out, you can get toe change and pulling when braking.

Thx Ugly
we did replace both emergency brake cables and they are connected. Had the front end checked and wasn't out enough to worry about that. Will look into the shocks.
Thx

Welcome to the forum.

This usually happens when there is still a little air in the system somewhere that needs to be bled out. The air in the lines causes uneven clamping pressure between the front calipers which will pull the car to one side when braking.

Just a simple re-bleeding of the front brakes may be needed.

Good point. Especially since he replaced hoses and calipers.

Rebleed all four calipers starting with the one furthest away from the master cylinder.
