looking for some clue from experienced or from experts
Car : Lancer box
Brake pads & liners replaced 6 months ago, at the same time overhauled the complete brake system.
Overhaul includes;
polishing caliper pistons
flushing brake oil line
replaced new caliper washer
replaced all washers (including oil seal)
replaced most of the 'factory fitted' tiny winy parts also
new master pump with servo (heavier)
finally filled with fresh 'lockheed' oil
at the end did the air bleeding also.
Braking improved drastically, better than compared to my 2003 kia.
But one thing is persisted since then. when I apply brake car pulls to right. If I apply brake suddenly steering pulls to right heavily. So again visited the mechanic. As he suggested to replace the bearings, I've replaced the all 4 bearing in the front. still problem didn't solved at all.
Again took the car to the mechanic last week and replaced the caliper pistons with brand new one both side. Now the wheels can be spinned freely by hand (both wheels spins freely-almost same stoppage time)
But still steering pulls to the right heavily when applying brake.
Now I'm clueless. Please shed some experience and knowledge
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
