Equilizing front braking

[TomoHawk]

I had the brakes looked over while the tires were changed, and the guy told me that one rotor (R.F.) was "thicker" than the rother? Test drive by tech guy says the car pulls right when braking, but I'm used to it, so I don't notice. I think I can confirm the difference when driving in the rain- the rt. frt. wheel will lockup & slide with hard braking.

Should I get the rotor in question turned down to match the other? Or is there some other thing that should be checked ?

thx

My best guess is that sometime in the past the RF caliper went bad and ruined the rotor, and both were replaced on that side only (not a good thing IMO, do to both sides what you are going to do to one).

I would think of replacing the caliper and maybe rotor if it too thin to turn on the LF and your balance should be back. Thickness of the rotor should have no effect on the "balance" of the braking.

I agree with Lance that if everything else is in good order the thickness of the rotor by itself shouldn't affect pulling to one side.

Another thing to check is the automatic adjusting of the rear shoes. If one side in the rear is too loose then other side will do more of the braking, at least under light applications. I had this on my car. I didn't so much feel the steering wheel pull to one side as much as I just had to turn the wheel a little to one side to keep the car stopping straight. Took me a long time to figure it out...
