Brakes and Alignment
Brakes and Alignment
Truck had a slight pull to the right when I picked it up from the dealer about a month ago. (bought it used). I called them back they said no problem they would do an alignment. Got the alignment done drove it home and it had a left hand pull that increased when the brakes were applied.....weird. I let them know and will be taking it back to get it checked.
Last night we had to go out of town and I noticed a squeel, not a loud one, every once in a while when the brakes were applied. At one intersection in town at about 35 mph. I put the brakes on and the drivers side front wheel locked up.
What do you think? The truck only has 22,000 kms. on it.

Its early for rusted slides for the caliper , but do they use salt on the roads there?
Then its possible that someone put the wrong fluid in the brake res. , look and see , its not real early to flush the brake system , and look at the fluid ,
next is also early , but every so often a flap of rubber on the inside of the brake hose will rip and acked like a check valve ,
Just some possibles.

There is absolutely no reason that one front wheel should lock up. The squeek I can see as a result of a dust film on the rotor when you come to a stop after traveling in dusty or high grit conditions. The lockup may be a result of malfunctioning ABS sensor or improper bleeding of the break on setup. Do you notice any inconsistant wear on one of the front tires.
