Technical Pulling to the right under brakes

[rawill]

If I can find out why my Fiat Uno is pulling to the right under braking all will be well!!
All was going fine I replaced the brake booster.
I did it by easing the master cylinder forward and did not take the master cylinder off, now it pulls to the right!!

The other thing I did was change the front tyres!!

Can't figure that out!!

The first idea that comes to my mind is that there´s air in the pipes on the left side.

Are your brakes OK ? If they run down the friction steel on steel is much higher

Yes that was my idea too, as illogical as it seems, as I never undid any brake pipes!!

check out my attachment, about steel on steel, bet you have never seen that before. It was NOT my vehicle!!! But it was a vehicle I was asked to fix the brakes on. I am going to mount it in my workshop.

As Mr. Spock would say " fascinating "

Well after messing around for ages, (days) trying to figure out what I had done wrong I came to the conclusion I can't have messed up something so simple.

In frustration I was about to put in new pads, and I thought the piston is not moving much!!
So I changed the left front caliper, voila,

My left front brake came back, now it pulls slightly to the left so tomorrow I will change the right front caliper, even though it is working.

Then I will get those calipers checked out, or do it myself and put new seals in them. But now I have better brakes than I ever had on this car.

It was just a coincidence it showed up when I changed the tyres and put on another booster.

That, presumably, gave a pulsating feel to the brake pedal and odd noises but that would be just as expected for ABS so the driver carried on...!
