If I am driving down the road the brakes work just fine, but when I am down around 5 mph and I depress the brake pedal it initially feels normal but as it goes to the floor it stiffens up and the wheels start to pull left. Occasionally my ABS light on the dashboard will illuminate and the brakes feel fine after that, they do not pull and the pedal feels good. Also, when I am pulling into parking when I have the steering wheel all the way to the right the brakes are STIFF and I cannot brake at all until I let my wheel come out of the turn a little bit. It only does it when I am pulling into a parking spot to the right not the left. I appreciate all advice I can get thank you very much. dmac0923 Enthusiast Sep 17, 2008, 1:09 PM Post #2 of 4 (3452 views) Re: 1999 Ford Ranger When Braking Pulls Left Sign In check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder pop the drivers side wheel off and take a look at the brake pads by removing the caliper and inspecting the slides. something is hanging up on the left side causing it to pull left. get your ABS codes read with a scanner. your front left wheel sensor could be bad giving a faulty signal to the abs controller. since your abs light is coming on, i would tend to think your looking at #3 but the first two are free and only cost your time. __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Guest Anonymous Poster Sep 22, 2008, 2:04 PM Post #3 of 4 (3442 views) Re: 1999 Ford Ranger When Braking Pulls Left Sign In The brake fluid level is fine, I have replaced the front hardware on both sides and everything came off fine and went back on correctly. I have gone and got the codes read because I have a check engine light, is there a different machine that reads ABS codes? My check engine light was different but I am fixing that problem right now. It was a vacuum leak (large) I found the leak and have the parts on order.. I just can't figure out these dang brakes. dmac0923 Enthusiast Sep 22, 2008, 5:55 PM Post #4 of 4 (3437 views) Re: 1999 Ford Ranger When Braking Pulls Left Sign In yea its a different tool to read the ABS system. i believe you can count flashes and cross reference them to get the code. youll have to do some google searching on finding out how to get the abs light to flash __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
