Pulls hard left when braking?

Bringing back an older post to add my 2 cents

I had same problem and it was cured by replacing passenger side flexible/rubber hose line. $ 21 at NAPA

Truck brakes like new now.

Thanks I have tried a couple of things and it still has the problem. I'm thinking that it is my track bar. When i brake more often then not I hear a clunking sound and it doesn't pull hard left all of the time. It is just most of the time.

I agree with Valv for this one. I just went through replacing calipers and other steering components, but in the end it was most certainly the right front brake hose. A good cheap one to try first.

I forgot to update my post when I figured out the problem. Apparently dodges have a problem with their brake hoses corroding from the inside. This is what mine did, and caused a one way check valve of sorts. Residual pressure was remaining in the caliper, causing it to pull when the brakes were applied. It also caused the pads to wear uneven, and excessively.

I have a set of stainless steel brake lines on order from EGRBrake

Welp, the SS brake lines didn't fix the problem. Neither did a track bar, and all 4 tie rod ends
