Hi guys, I’m having a problem with a 73 Cuda power front disc brakes pulling to the right.

This car was restored a while back and was braking correctly up until recently. It had new hard lines, rubber flex lines, and proportioning valve when restored and new master cly. and power booster about 4 years ago. Also has had new front suspension components, new steering box and an alignment. It has 17” wheels on the front and the front is lowered approx: 1.5 inches lower than stock on the stock torsion bars. The brakes worked well with this set up.

This problem started about 50 miles ago and I have since put on another new set of calipers, rotors, stainless flex lines and bled the brakes very well. I also noticed the brake pedal was not returning to its correct raised position, I put a new vacuum check valve on the power booster but it still stays down about 1 inch.

After I bled the brakes and took it for a test drive, I took the lid off the master cyl. I noticed small bubbles coming up from the hole in the bottom of the front brake reservoir. I check everywhere for leaks but could not find any brake fluid leaking anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Doug

Have you checked the rear brakes?

The rears are new also but it seems to be front right pulling almost nose diving to the right when hit hard, same as a stuck caliper feel.
