Hey I just got finished rebuilding my front end, (tie rod ends, ball joints, bushings, etc).

I planned to replace my inner and outer bearings, rotors, and pads.

Before i rebuilt the front end , I notice that when i would brake pretty hard, my car my swerve a little to the left.

Now that i'm done with the rebuild, i don't notice it as much. I haven't had the car professionally aligned yet though.

Could this be a bearing, caliper, etc.

Also is there anyting out there written on how to bleed your brakes!!!

I have no clue how to do this.

Only thing about bleeding brakes that I know is sitting in the seat and pushing the pedal when my dad tells me. :lol:

For bleeding brakes I think you're supposed to start with the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder (passenger rear.) Have somebody pump the pedal a few times and then hold it down. When they say it's down, twist open the bleeder screw on the caliper for a short time and close it. Then the person lets off the pedal. Repeat for each caliper until it's a steady stream of fluid coming out (no spattering air) and then move on to the next caliper. Keep checking to make sure there is enough fluid in the resevior for the master cylinder. If that doesn't work, try to buy a vacuum bleeder. That's what I think I'm going to use. It helped me the most so far. I have to wait for my axles to come to see if it really fixed my brake problem though.

I think all that is right

Not a bad explanation John, its almost like you quoted my explanation I typed for you when you had brake troubles! LOL, anyways I am sure you knew that already anyway! I have dealt with brakes before (I used to work at a Brake Shop) and a hard pull in either direction from braking is usually do to a bad caliper or a severly warped rotor. It is possible that there is air in the system causing one caliper to grip more than other, so like Supercharged86 said, bleed them first and see what ya got! -Matt

This is what I've been doing for the last week or so Matt. I have it down good :lol: Also try turning the caliper vertical with the screw at the top and bleeding it to see if there is any air trapped above the bleeder screw. I think that helped me too.

Pulling to one side is an indicator of either contamination on the brakes, like grease or oil on a rotor or drum, or possibly a seized ft. caliper ( not floating freely), this usually showns as uneven wear on the brake pads-- inside not worn the same as outside pad. You can bled brakes by yourself by using speedbleeders or use a piece of vacuum hose on the bleeder screw and insert into a small container with about 1 in. of brake fluid, hose must be below fluid level. You then open the bleeder screw and pump the pedal yourself 6 or 7 times. close the bleeder with out removing the hose- to stop air from entering the system- and then proceed to the next wheel. You should start at the rt. rear first (furthest away). Check the master cyl. frequently. The proportioning valve shuttles back and forth during this and sometimes you have to remove the electrical connection and unscrew the detent ( located in the center top of the valve) then pump the pedal to center the valve and then reinstall the detent. You may have to repeat the process several times
