Help ? Brake bias problems.

Sep 5th, 2004, 16:32

Good afternoon all,
Took my '95 850 T5 estate in for it's mot last week but it failed due to a 45% bias to the offside brake. Fitted new pads and caliper but no improvement. I am going to fit a new master cylinder this afternoon but if that does not sort it out I am out of ideas.
Has anyone had this problem before or know how to sort it ??

I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
Many thanks in advance,

Rob.

Front or rear?

Did you replace the caliper on the 'weak' side.

I can't see a master cylinder making any difference.

Hello Chris.
Front has the problem. Caliper replaced on "weak" Side.
Replaced the master on recomendation of the mechanic who has looked after the car since new.
Cheers.
