I have a 1995 Chevy 1500 2wheel drive Pickup with 125K miles. The breaks pull to the left. It also seems like the right breaks were sticking. Truck does not seem to roll freely and I think the right breaks were getting hot. I checked them and noticed that the right breaks were more worn. I replaced the calipers and pads on both sides. The truck still pulls to the left. Still seems like the right breaks are getting hot. Notice a slight smell from them. Back breaks look good,

What else coudkl cause thei problem. Could it be the flexible part of the breeak line on the right? Why does it pull to the left if the problem is on the right side?

it could be the brake lines. i had a similar problem on my truck. the right brakes might not be adjusted correctly and that is making the left pull harder. i suggest getting it looked at right away. my father always told me"good tires and brakes are the most important parts on your vehicle"good luck!

I went ahead and replaced the hose. That was it. They are breaking straight as an arrow now. I think the right break was slow to apply and slow to release. Everything seems perfect now.

Thaks again for your post.
