95 Blazer Pulls Left

[ndaniel7]

I have a 95 Blazer 114k miles on it and a few days ago I noticed everytime I pushed on the breaks it would pulls to the left. I took it to a tire shop to have them look at it. They couldn't figure out what was wrong. I just put new breaks on about year and half ago. I'm wondering about the calipers or the rotors. I had a break shop look at my rotors about 2 years ago and they said That I can't turn them I should buy new ones. Well I totally forgot about it til now. They never squeak or anything. So I don't know what else it could be.

If the shop was unable to turn your rotors it's probably becasue they were to worn out. I would deffinately buy new rotors. Since the rotors are not even I would just purchse new brake pads as well.

[ndaniel7]

Do you think thats what is causing it to pull when I push on the breaks?

[tbischop]

Probably a seized caliper.

Take it into someone that does brake work. You'll most likely need pads, rotors, calipers.

[BlazerLT]

Yes, these guys are right.

One thing, don't go to a tire shop to get your brakes checked.

[ndaniel7]

Do you have any ideas on how much it will cost to replace all of it?

[BlazerLT]

Replace what all?

[ndaniel7]

The Rotors,Calipers and pads?

[BlazerLT]

At a shop or the parts and you are installing it yourself?

[ndaniel7]

uhm not sure I might be able to do it myself but most likely I would take it to a break shop.

[BlazerLT]

i can't give you an accurate quote seeing I don't know just how much work is needed and I don't know your labor rates there.

It is hard to say with out looking at it. take off your front wheels and if one of your rotors is rusty on one side it is frozen and they should be replaced in pairs. buying loaded calipers is cheapest. check your brake hoses for cracks and flexibility if you see cracks they gots to go! if not bleed them all around. hoses can deteriorate on the inside and screw up your whole system and be careful of which rotors you buy some manufacturers make them at minimum runout so they cant be turned and they are likely to warp

alignment and tire pressure could also be factors

[BlazerLT]

Oh shit, I completely forgot that!

Check to see if your tire pressure is 32psi STONE COLD in each tire.

yeah, it can be tough to think of every angle on something when your not there looking at it.
