67 Parisienne pulls left hard! Then works smoothly?!?!


Could this be a faulty master cylinder? I installed new flex hoses and wheel cylinders on both front brakes today Also installed new tires Also installed new moog strut rod bushings Both brakes were bled properly Alignment was just completed Car has never drove or stopped so nice! Then all of a sudden next stop pulls left with a vengeance !! Stomp the pedal out of frustration Then perfect brakes again!! Both front brakes are adjusted properly I am chasing this problem and still not winning Btw rears work perfect all the time Thanks Greg

Kinda thought when I put the brand new one on yesterday And now the car still behaves the exact same???? I've been studying wondering about a residual valve??? I will admit I'm out of ideas Thanks Greg

Disc brakes on the 67 ?.........might be a stuck caliper.

other possibilities collapsed brake hose,

Try switching the wheel cylinders from left to right. See if it goes the other way.

 LOL, don't think that'll work as the front wheel cylinders are side specific.

I'd say either a faulty wheel cylinder or junction block.

Did you have the brake shoes right off when you replaced wheel cyl? There is a primary and secondary shoe, one is longer than the other. If you took them off,maybe replaced backwards? I would also pull drums and make sure all hardware is still on properly and no broken springs.

Sounds similar to a problem I had with my GMC, it was the brake line (flex line) to the wheel.

Thanks for all responses I think I have figured this out When I fixed each side I took some emery cloth and scuffed the glaze off the shoes and drum But I was in a hurry to finish up and did not scuff the other side After about 50 stops things are even again That's my theory .....
