I got out the other day and went for a test drive. It still drifts right.....
I decided to go through the front brakes. Previously I had bled them. At that time, I had looked at the pads and decided there was plenty left so I discounted them as being a cause. How wrong I was. Yesterday I got the Driver's side caliper removed for rebuilding. New seals and new pistons. this is what I found.
There is plenty of crud in there huh?

While I was taking it apart I noticed something rather odd. The 2 pads were from 2 different mfgrs. They had different part numbers, slightly different friction shapes and different steel plate shapes. WTF? When I took apart the passenger side, Lots of crud again but his time both pads were identical. It also appeared that some PO had slathered the backs of all the pads with RTV. This had also stuck to the caliper! more WTF!
I wasn't prepared for having to replace the pads so I got them on order today. Should have them by the end of the week.
