BRAKE PROBLEMS NEED HELP BADDDD....

[jesusisfern]

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I INSTALLED SOME DJM DROP SPINDLES AND SOME HAWK PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS AND JUST THE OTHER DAY AFTER LETTING MY TRUCK SIT FOR ABOUT A WEEK I NOTICED THE TRUCK PULL HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES ON THE FREEWAY.. IT FELT KINDA STIFF AND GRINDY AT THE PEDAL WHAT COULD IT BE..

NOW I NOTICE ITS STARTING TO DO IT MORE AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES I CAN KINDA HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY NEAR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I READ SOMEWHERE IT COULD BE THE EH VALVE IS THAT RIGHT..

PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED TO GET PAST THIS.. THANKS..

1996 S10 4.3 2WD EXT CAB.

Sounds like one of two things.
A. ABS Issue. Is the brake pedal rapidly pulsing along with that "noise" by the brake booster?

B. Seized Caliper. The truck will pull, in the direction of the working caliper. IE, if the right front caliper is ok, but the left front is bad/not working correctly, its going to pull to the RIGHT. If the left is ok and the right not working, it will pull LEFT.

Sounds to me like you have an ABS issue. Any lights on, on the dash?

I drove the truck all day with no problems at all then when got home the abs light went on.. so now what can it be the braking seems to be better now tho but the lights on..

[jesusisfern]

the abs light was on caus of a sensor wire was hitting the wheel and the pulling to the right i was told is my rotors and calipers..
