Newbie with brake problems 1993
ok. Somebody please help. Took my 93 f150, 300 6cyl, 5speed, 2WD in for a simple brake job. They put on new front pads and turned rotors. Also new bearings. Got it back and it pulled very hard to the left when brakes applied. Intermitent. Took it back and they said it was fine. It wasn't. Took it back again. They replaced calipers. Didn't fix the problem. They replaced hoses. Didn't fix the problem. So now I have new pads, new calipers, new hoses, turned rotors, and new bearings. Still didn't fix it and now they said it was ball joint on left side. Replaced ball joint on left side only. They said right side ball joint was ok. Seemed to fix problem for about two days. Still have intermitent left pull when I brake although not as bad as before. No vibration. Sometimes stops straight and even. Never pulls right. 6 months prior to this I had new shocks and new steering rods replaced. What is left??? The truck had no problems prior to the brake job. It all started with just rotor turn and new pads. So far they have talked me into new everything and still haven't fixed the problem. Is the problem with the rotor turn from first visit? I am at a loss. Please help me. I fear they have taken me for a ride with parts I did not need.
Thanks, Doc
