brake problems Please help?
Ok!
I put all new front suspension parts on the truck. New sway bar bushings tie rod ends, shocks, trak bar, calipers, rotors and pads. I forgot to put the shim on the passanger side wheel when i put it back on! anyways i bleed the brakes. when i bleed the drivers side the fluid came flying out like a gusher. when i bleed the passanger side the fluid did not come out very fast it came out but not as fast as the drivers side. I got all the air out and put it back togeather and took it for a ride! when i hit the brakes it pulls to the drivers side! so when i got back to the house i checked the hubs to see if they where hot and the drivers side was cold but the pasanger side was to hot to touch. so i have replaced everything! what could it be?
I was reading about the shim for the passanger side wheel but that would only effect the alingment right? I also read about a collapsed passenger side brake line problem. should i change the rubber brake lines?
What should i do?

rubber lines
Ok! I understand and i will do that but please dont take this the wrong way when i say WHY?????
why would the lines be bad and why would the shim cause a problem?
I am not questioning you. I would just like to have a idea of why so I know how it works!
Thanks for your help!!!!

The rubber lines slowly degrade due to moisture and heat,while the hoses break apart inside contaminating the fluid with small rubber particles. Unfortunately brake fluid maintenance is overlooked by many drivers,which makes issues worse. When a line collapses, it can cause several symptoms. The most common symptom is a pulling condition. It is relatively difficult to diagnose a collapsed rubber line because you cannot physically see the inside of the line. The rule of thumb is usually if the vehicle pulls to one side while braking and the caliper shows no damage, then replacement of the brake hose is required.

All better!!!
All better! I Replaced the lines tonight and every thing is working great!
The line was the problem!
Now for my next question I plan to install bigger wheels and tires on my truck should i install the spacer for both sets of wheels or only the stock wheels? should i get a alingment with or with out the spacer?
