Brakes pull left

WhiskeyHotel · 11-27-2011, 10:38 PM

The Z's brakes are affected by conditions. Wet brakes on one side will cause a pull. A bit of rust on the rotors will result in uneven braking. Sometimes I get a pull with certain other road conditions.

If it is a consistent direction and repeatable, have it looked at.

And please tell me you were not going 100 mph on a public street.

I'd never do that as I'm sure you've never broken the speed limit.

I'd have the brakes looked at.

could be a bad piston in one of the calipers or a loose line. any leaks or play in the break pedal? MJB is correct, a bad alignment can cause this to happen, usually a bad front end alignment will cause slight chatter on the steering wheel.

Could the open diff cause this or the viscous since viscous LSD isnt much better then the open?? I ask because OP said this "Rear end bounces on high speed curves."

Update us when you find out what it is, I personally have not had this issue

No leaks or play in the brake pedal.
I never had it aligned but it drives straight & smooth even at very high speeds.
The brakes are fine except for some panic stops it jerks hard left into opposiing traffic. I don't think the brake shops would be willing or know how to ethically replicate this condition. Just wondering if this was a common problem with a fix?
