I replaced the front rotors and pads a few weeks ago, but now I notice that when I brake hard at like 75% (if 100% is locking up the tires) while going over 35-40 mph, the jeep pulls to the right. I'm not sure if it has always been like this since I usually brake at 25-50% in normal driving. I took the new rotors off last night and everything looks fine. I checked the Teraflex discs in the back and they look fine too.
The FSM says these are the possible causes of brake pull:
-Contaminated pad in one caliper (no, I was very careful to keep them clean out of the box)
-Seized caliper piston (no, wouldn't that cause pull at slow speeds and light braking too?)
-Binding caliper (possible...? How would I know?)
-Loose caliper (no, bolt torques are fine)
-Rusty caliper slide surfaces (no, they're nice and greasy)
-Improper brake shoes (no, brand new EBC Green Stuff pads)
-Damaged rotor (no, brand new Brembo OEM replacement)
-Damaged wheel bearing (possible...? How would I know?)
-Damaged suspension component (possible...?)
More about the "damaged suspension component", I do have a dead spot in my steering ever since I installed the 4.5" RK LA kit. Do people with this dead spot tend to get brake pull? I tried checking all the steering ball joints by grabbing and shaking stuff, but nothing seems to be moving. I'm lost and trying to diagnose this problem. Any suggestions would be great.
