I recently noticed that when i apply the brakes in my suburban the steering wheel turns to the left. So i took off the wheels and calipers to inspect them and one of the pistons were seized. So i changed the calipers and brake pads , re mounted them and properly bled the brakes. I am still having the issue with the wheel turning as brakes are applied, not only that but with the front end jacked up the wheels dont seem to turn as freely as i would expect. when i had the calipers removed the rotor would spin easily. Its not terribly hard to turn but there does seem to be resistance now , is this normal? if not any suggestions or links would be very helpful! thanks.
It is a 1990 , 4wd drums in the rear. Strange thing is , although the sterring wheel turns it still stays straight. the alignment is fine doesnt pull when driving, and i checked tire pressure and its equal all the way around. The hoses dont appear to be bad but from what i understand they can collapse on the inside, but when i bleed the brakes i get plenty of fluid pupmping though each side. The master cylinder appears to be fine, is there anything i can do to check that? Thanks for all the replys, all of you are very helpful!
