It sounds like a very common problem. Get new brake hoses. The old ones swell up and block the flow of brake fluid.

Front brakes are self-adjusting, so it could be the rear brakes need to be looked at and adjusted. The other possibility is the hoses to the calipers. They have been known to collapse internally and become one-way check valves, which could also be the cause of your braking problems.

It's easy enough to check brake application if it's that bad. Jack up the front end and spin the tires and have someone hit the brakes. It sounds like the left one is working better than the right one since it's pulling that way. If you bleed the front brakes the right one probably won't have much fluid coming out of the bleeder screw because of a restricted hose.
Don't just replace the hose that you think is bad, REPLACE ALL THREE OF THEM! Harold |
