:cry: I have a 1999 Oldsmobile 88 that shudders on the left side when I brake. My son looked at the brake shoes and they look ok. What could be the problem?

Does the car pull either way when braking?

No, it does not pull to either side; but I feel the shudder on the left side when I brake.

it could be the caliper, but usually when it stickes the car pulls the opposite way while braking.
Maybe the rotor, racknpinion steering or a brokern rod.

sorry
