Hey guys, so I've got an issue with my truck that's starting to get worse and worse. I was driving a few weeks ago and the car in front of me locked up on its brakes thanks to a guy pulling out in front of him. I slammed on mine and it pulled me hard to the passenger side. I figured it was a caliper so I replaced it, bled the lines and everything. The issue still continues though, it's still pulling to the passenger side. I'm thinking it may be a collapsed line now. I've heard somewhere that the rubber hose may collapse sometimes. Could that be a possibility? I pulled the tire off the other day and you can feel there is a harder spot when turning the hub. It spins freely and then slows down. Could it be the rubber brake line or an issue with the hub itself? Like I said,it didn't do this until I had to slam on the brakes. I didn't see any leaks from the hub seals or anything like that. I have to get this fixed asap due to my firewood business. I don't want the brakes to go out on me while hauling a load of logs with the trailer. I just got the truck a few months ago so I'm trying to get it fixed up, it's not a looker but it's got potential with only 192k miles. Any help would be appreciated.

 

replace the rubber line and see if it changes. sounds like its collapsed but if the problem is still there you will need to work your way back up the brake system. could be your master cylinder also.

 

Yeah that's kind of what I figured. Thanks for the reassurance. I just got done doing one brake job, now onto the next
