Brakes

Tineca · Dec 5th, 2019, 19:47

My xc90 seems to have a funny braking quirk. When you press the pedal it pulls to the left and then rectifies itself and brakes evenly. I am wondering if it's a sticking piston in the caliper. It's worse at higher speeds. Discs look new as do pads. Are all xc90 d5 calipers the same? Thinking of getting a recon one.

Check the bushes in both lower control arms before touching the brakes.

Might there be a badly worn bush on one of the suspension arms??

See post 2. That's my thought and identical symptoms when one was worn on my S60
