Pulling under braking

Occasionaly, my '99 pulls to the right under hard braking. I was going to replace the caliper, but I'm curious if a frozen caliper would be intermittent like that? Possibly only need to replace the hardware if it's only a problem with the caliper not floating properly. Anyone had any similar experiences? Just checking before I replace more than I need to.

Thanks.

when was the last time you changed your brake fluid??? i had the same problem on my 97 i regreased the caliper pins and flushed all the old fluid and put fresh fluid in. never had a problem since. the old fluid can cause problems like that .

I've never replaced the brake fluid. But I'll give it a try. Did you suck fresh fluid from the resevoir through the bleeder?

i just bled them all the wheels the regular way. make sure you jave a friend add new fluid as you pump all the old stuff out. dont let that master cylinder run dry or you will be there all day. when you start seeing the new clear fluid come out of the bleeders you are all set.
