I believe i posted something about this last year, but didnt get response/didnt figure it out. Here is the problem:
91 9000T, front drivers caliper "sticks" when driving.
Distance does not seem to matter, this is what it does.. the brake pedal will get HARD, but still "pushable," if i push the brakes, the car will TWIST towards the drivers front side as if that is the ONLY brake working. it will start to squeel, but not lock up (anti-lock still working) and then it goes away on it self.
I have replcaed the caliper and the ABS controller (computer box behind falste firewall)
It is very dangerous and hard for me to let others drive my car. it NEVER did this during the winter (buffalo ny temperatuers) but since its warm now, the proglem is back. Last year, i had to brake for a dog (emergency style), it was a good thing no one else was on the 4lane road at the time because the extent of the breaking on only that one tire caused me to go sideways, but was able to recover.
to understand how bad it is, next time you brake hard, swerve HARD to the left, thats what my car does...
the steering wheel does NOT turn, but i can compensate by turning in the other direction.
so when the pedal gets hard, it seems as though the only brake working is the drivers front, pushing lightly you can feel it tug to the side, but obviously not enough to cause accident etc...
does anyone have any ideas? could the abs sensor cause it to do this?
TIA! (sorry for the long rambling)
