I just bought a 2004 Acura Tl 6 speed a few days ago and made the dealer replace the rear brakes and rotors because they were so far gone. Yesterday was my first real day driving it around and I noticed when applying brakes and coming to a stop, I have to fight the wheel from turning to the right. If I let the wheel go when approaching a stop, it turns pretty severely to the right on its own. What might be causing this? Faulty pad?

The tires are almost new Sumitomo summers and good tire pressure all around.

Thanks!

 

Does your car track straight when you are on a flat area of road? If so, your front or rear? wheel alignment maybe off. With new tires a bad wear pattern will not show up yet. You also may have a bad caliper on the left front wheel that does not break as well as the right caliper? Have you checked to see if after braking if you notice any temperature differences from one side to the other?

Good luck with the new car.

 

Just to clarify you did say REAR brakes replaced right?

 

if all other checks fail....bleed the system out.

 

+1 that was my first thought as well.

 

If the pull wasn't there prior to the brake work take it back and let them deal with it.
