i got a 73 vw thing with drum brakes. Replaced the master cly, all the lines, wheel clys., and brakes. The car pulls a little to one side when I hit the brakes and as I drive it pulls more. i adjusted the brakes but i need to to adjust them every few days to stop it from pulling so bad. i have bled them brakes several times, i see no air?

Any Ideas
Joe

Make sure that the drums are straight also, sometimes they warp in high temperatures or get a buildup of brake dust that needs to be cleaned and resurfaced.

My only other solution would be to check to make sure the Emergency brake isn't engaging, it is a mechanical brake, so there could be tension on the line that is causing one side or the other to engage making the car pull to one side, or slow down when it should be coasting.
