Dodge Ram Van B250 6 cyl. 1994...Why does my car pull when I brake?????

My van only pulls when i brake.....It wont even stay on the road everytime i brake.





Here are all the things i have fixed.





JUN-2007 CALIPERS FRONT


JUN-2007 BRAKES FRONT


JUL-2007 FRONT CONTROL ARM


JUL-2007 FRONT UPPER BUSHINGS


SEP-2007 REAR BRAKE SHOES


SEP-2007 REAR WHEEL CYL. L %26amp; R


SEP-2007 REAR CYLINDER BRAKE SPRINGS. L %26amp; R


SEP-2007 2 INNER WHEEL BEARINGS FRONT


SEP-2007 2 OUTER WHEEL BEARINGS FRONT


SEP-2007 2 INNER SEALS FRONT





a brake specialist told me to replace the steering box, could that be whats doing it. Is that one of the symptoms before it eventually brakes????





Also, if that IS whats bad what will finally happen when it does eventually go?

it seems to me its the brake hose or flex hose,collasped or restricted
Reply:check alignment. check ball joints, tie rod ends. more than likely it is in the brake system. swap your front rotors from one side to the other and test drive to see if the pull changes. if it does then change the rotors. if nothing then swap the brake pads and test drive. then calipers. but you can't swap those from one side to the other. since they are new they should have a warranty. this is my wifes screen name. not mine.
Reply:1 of the calipers is stuck like your constantly pressing the brake or the slide pins just need greased. if its pulling to the right , the right caliper is stuck. you need someone to raise the van up and spin the wheels to see if their is a differance
Reply:ONE OF YOUR CALIPERS IS STICKING OR YOU HAVE A BAD BRAKE LINE AND IT IS THAT SIMPLE.





RECHECK THE FRONT CALIPERS AND BRAKE LINES COMPLETELY.
Reply:Did they ever align your car and how are your tires??
Reply:Best advice is to go to a front end alignment specialist.
Reply:I agree with ray p. I had a 72 plymouth duster that did the same thing your are describing. It ended up being a blocked brake line. If your car pulls to the right, check the left hose, and visa versa. The physics behind this problem is if the hose is blocked, all of the fluid that is not being delivered to the blocked line ends up in the line that is free causing that brake to catch sooner or more and pulling the vehicle in the direction of the good brake line
Reply:yes it could be the steering box i had one on a Chevy truck once you could hold the steering wheel straight push the brake and it would turn to the left and pull you across the road it was the steering box.... but first have the frond of your car jacked up have someone push the brake pedal down and someone else try to turn your tires if one turn with the pedal down there is something wrong with that side if neither of them turn have them take their foot off the pedal then try to turn the tires again if one don't turn it is that side hope this helps
Reply:I am a certified tech. "The kid" is right. Usually slide pins frozen or a stuck caliper.
