aristech Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) I have been having an issue with my brakes on my 1935 Pontiac. It is pulling to the right. I have adjusted the brakes and they rub just about the same on both sides, But when I drive it still pulls to the right. Could the Drum be the reason for it grabbing more on passenger side?

Bloo Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 1935? You could have a stuck piston in a slave cylinder. It happened to my 1936 once. Another thing that happens is a brake hose can collapse internally and block fluid to one side. On more modern cars, brake pulling is usually a suspension problem. I wouldn't rule it out. I would check the front suspension carefully for looseness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristech Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 So I pulled the drums off and everything is brand new. Wheel cylinder's are working properly, I am suspecting the Drums to be the issue. they are worn and I think they need to be turned. Next step is to drop drums off to be turned . -Jermaine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 If they're not cast iron, they may need to be ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristech Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Update. So after further inspection drivers side shoes had grease on them so I used two cans of brake cleaner to get all the grease out. I also had the drums turned and now the brakes work perfectly. Side note I remember when o use to pay $6 to get my drums turned. Today I paid $50 each drum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
