When Braking Car Pulls to The Right
When I apply moderate pressure on the brakes, the car will pull slightly to the right. (feels like torque steer) I just replaced my brake pads last year with OEM ceramic pads. I had the rotors re-surfaced, and now it pulls. Can anyone give me some good feedback on what could be causing this? Thanks.

My Nissan pickup used to do this (to the right). Upon getting out and inspecting it, I had smoke rolling off the pads and rotor. It was because the pads were too tight around the rotor. To fix it, I took one of the backing shims out. Fixed, and it never gave me a problem since. I also just replaced the rear pads on my Max, and they squeel, can't figure out why.

Sorry to jack the thread but people started mentioning resurfacing. How many times would you guys resurface yours? I have already done it once and am VERY tempted to just throw on Brembo Blanks and shut up.
Thanks for the input.

Lift the left (driver) side, take the wheel off, and check the pad wear. I'm betting you'll find either
(1) uneven wear (cause: binding caliper pins, as stated by others. dismantle, clean, grease) or
(2) brake fluid leaking on to the pads (cause: bad caliper piston seal. replace caliper or, if broke, try a repair kit)

my left side caliper sliding pin was rusted into the spot which caused my car to pull left. I had to replace the part that when over the rotor and held the caliper cuz i couldnt free the pin from it. Just something to look at.
