Hi all,

So, what checklist should I try out to figure out a pulling condition?

Facts:
  • Andy F viper caliper kit on the front.
    Disks on the rear, using street rod manufacturing kit.
    Just driving it for the first time. New rotors, front and rear.
    New hardlines throughout.
    New K member, with adjustable strut rods.
    Aligned at a shop that I don't quite trust.
    Pulling developed more as I drove it.
Could it be that one rotor is bedding in faster than the opposite?

Thanks,

Greg

A little bit of air on one side can do this..........
Pistons sticking in the caliper.
A sliding caliper can bind on the pin.


you mentioned new hardlines, what about the rubber lines?

yeah, new flex lines as well.

Bleeding them again wouldn't hurt. That is a good place to start.

It doesn't pull when I accellerate, so I think the alignment is probably okay.
