ok well my front brakes are pulling to the driver's side only when under harder braking. i've replaced the hoses, and flushed the fluid completely. i just ordered brand new cross drilled/slotted rotors and pads. should this fix it? and they dont drag either.....
EDIT: its on my 86 that sat for about 3 or so years, and i've already completely redone the rear brakes!

Might sound dumb.........Caliper sticking?
I had that happen once, got a caliper rebuild kit, polished the calper cylinders and sleeves, haven't had the problem since.....
just my experince sir.
good luck!

if its pulling left, the right side front caliper is not providing sufficient braking force.
start the engine, have someone step on the brake pedal, and jack up the right front, then try to spin the wheel. it shouldnt budge no matter how hard you try.
your from PA.. so im betting your pins are starting to rust/freeze up.
