Hi,

 

My car seems to pull to the left when I brake. There is a bit of a crease in the brake line on the passenger side. Would this be the problem? The other side seems to be fine.

doubt it would cause a problem, its more likely to be a sticky calliper.

I brought a new hardware pack for both the front calipers a little while ago and had them stripped with new pads and disks?

so the calipers have been rebuilt?

does the hardware pack mean piston seals like?

Yes, seals etc. He's supposed to have anyway..

I dont like the sound of a crease in flexi brake hose might be worth changing these maybe for braided ones.As i had a peugeot 205 gti with the same problem and it was traced to a internaly colapsed flexi brake hose the hole in the centre was so small that the fluild couldnt get to the piston . :cool:

The thing is, it's the metal pipe that has the crease. I'm thinking that maybe the fluid is being forced through when I put on the brakes, but not flowing back so easily when I let go. So they are touching the disk. So when I press again after that, more pressure is on that side? Just a thought. what do you think?
