hi guys on the way down to the Yorkshire modified show i noticed that under head breaking the car is pulling to the left
im expecting a seized calliper but has anyone got any other ideas
(always expect the worst)
ive just replaced the passenger track rod end could that be part of it as it hasnt had the realignment done yet.
i am also getting a clunk when turning left sometimes which i thaught the replacemnt would solve but no joy:'(

update~#

well got the car on the stands and discovered that the clunking noise was actually a bit of wheel arch trim that was hitting the suspension (WHOOP)
took the brake pads out and the only thing that was wrong with the pistons was one was sticking which we now have freed.
there was even wear on both pads on both calipers.
I took the car to get aligned and the bloke has told me that the rear toe is a bit off. could that be part of it ?
im getting a bit stumped

Likely to be less brake effort on one side than the other so could be brake pads, seized pistons in the caliper, collapsing brake pipe, faulty predominance valve, could also be alignment, worn suspension bush or even something as simple as a flat tyre can do this
