It looked fine on the outside but something is wrong on the inside that cuts the flow in half. Replaced it and I've got a big smile on my face now that I can brake evenly. The old beast is a pleasure to drive again. Love those simple fixes,.. but this one had me guessing for awhile that's for sure.
You are welcome and thanks for posting back the fix.

The other one may be getting bad to.
Also helps to flush the old brake fluid out every 50K or 3-5 years.
Good Luck
