Brake issue: Car pulls to the left during hard braking

[mamatAE111]

During hard braking, my car tends to pull to the left. I have to hold the steering firmly to hold the car straight.
The problem does not happen during normal braking.
Have anyone experience this? And what could be the cause?
Thank you all..

there r a few things to check...lower arm bushes free play might cause this...brake cylinder seals might be worn on 1 side or brake pad wearing out on 1 side...this is all just speculation...even tyre air pressure difference between left n right also could cause this...what i think is better send in for checkup. pls take note all i suggested is based on personal experience and maybe not applicable to yr car heheheh

mamat : i had the same problem, and the arm bushing was worn out, replacing them helped the situation.. this was few years back and the problem is appearing again T_T

Thanks for the suggestions

my only advice...especially if you've convert them i.e. upgrade front and rear brake set...
complete servis on all 4 calipers, piston, seal etc...
you won't know the actual condition coz it's from half-cut parts...:hmmmm:

all of the above has happened to me in the past thats y i suggested all that hehehe worse was brake piston siezed while i was driving...had to tekan minyak harder n harder till the car just stopped moving... had to let it cool down then straight drive to workshop to get the piston serviced. they removed the whole piston assy and changed the o-rings and rust and its ok now.

too many story to tell... so best advise...:hmmmm:
service/overhaul them... it's the best thing to do if you ever upgrade/use a used parts...
even the engine, best if overhaul them during conversion... only cost issue normally...
good luck...:proud:
