Some of you might remember my struggle to get what I considered strong braking, even after many rounds of bleeding, bedding, pad brand changes, and voodoo. I finally noticed how much the firewall flexed and the master cylinder moved under hard pedal pressure, and built a brace to support it. See my main thread.

On my first drive of 2023, the brakes finally felt strong, and I could lock up the front pretty easily. But with strong brake response I now have strong pull to the right.

I did set the rear pad clearance on both sides, inside and out, to .004".

Any suggestions?

One thing I have not done yet is corner weight balance. If the right front (and left rear) are carrying too much weight, would that make the car pull to the right as the weight shifts forward under hard braking?

Front and rear bearings, bushings, trailing arm mounts?

Go find a parking lot (empty) accel to 40, then lock up the brakes hard.
Which one locks first?
Get a spotter, or look at the rubber marks.
