 Subject: Brakes grab on right
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2000 Dakota and the right front brakes grabs under medium and hard braking. It will pull the wheeel to the right. on really soft braking it doesn't pull at all. after the brakes grab and I come to a stop, when I release the pedal the steering wheel will release to the left. could this be the metering valve? I had the brakes looked at at the wheel and it lookes all ok.

Brake pads are more than likely wet with brake fluid. Caliper leak.

Got to looking at it this weekend and found that the bottom caliper bolt is stripped out but still in the hole. when I apply the brakes it moves slighty causing it to grab different. I talked to my tire and brake man and he said that this isn't the first he had. he has had so many that he has a helicoil kit to rethread it. It is a common problem in Dodge
