when i apply the foot brake the car wants to go right slighty. i cant remember is it the opposite calliper to the way its pulling. its deffo brake related suspension bushes are all mint. it could just be that i got the brake pads mixed up and there beding in again. ive just refurbed all the callipers. this is guna be a pain in the f...ing ass theres no reason for it do be doing this thanks
Same side as it is pulling is the more effective brake, I would re bleed the system and put new pads in there. Also get a geometry check and check tyres and tyre pressures. Don't assume it is the front and it could also be the other side not working well enough as opposed to the one side working too well.

what a pain ill try bleeding again and try new pads on the rear. when i say i refurbed all the callipers i did all but one.both fronts had new s/steel pistons and seals the o/s rear is 12 months old the n/s rear is as old as the hills but seems to work fine foot on the brake and try bar it arround seems ok. the pads on the back arnt the best. non of them are binding. ill put the pads in and put the fronts in my freinds brake tester shame i cant put the rears in there
N s r as old as the hills? Do all the brakes to the same standard or you are asking for trouble. If in doubt, new discs all round, new fluid and new pads. All should be at the same level of upkeep...the best, they stop you being dead

the n/s rear works fine but its been on the car for as long as ive had it sixteen years but works fine. previous mot`s including last year didnt show any inbalance compared to the which would of been bran new last year on the oposite side. if it showed inbalance on the rollers i would have replaced it with another new one. this year i only realised that you cant put the rears in the rollers because of the lsd. its not standered practice to replace callipers per axle set. i keep the brake fluid renewed once a year. i have my doubts about the master cylinder seems that the os/r was ever so slighty binding allong with the ns/f
