Braking Issues/Concerns
 
Hey guys...

I have a question about my brakes. Sometimes when I brake approaching a light my car swerves to the right. Sometimes it doesnt. What causes this?

I have checked my calipers/brake lines and everything is good. It is annoying, confusing, and relying on my fellow rx8's owners to assist me with this one :)

Thanks guys

sticking caliper on left side(not pressing and only brakes on right) did u take the pads out and caliper off and try pressing the piston on the caliper back in to see if it moves eastily of sticks?

CAUTION: DO NOT PUMP BRAKE PEDAL WITH CALIPERS OFF OF ROTORS

04RX8man - I took my calipers off and pressed the piston - it moves easily.

^alignment the angle that the tires point straight ahead they should point almost directly ahead when the steering wheel is straigt....if they are pointed in or out that is ur tow adjustment and needs an alignment!

ok if the piston moved easily then it does not sound like the piston is sticking....
