Truck pulls to one side when I step on brake pedal Sign In

When I step on the brake pedal of my 1992 Toyota pickup the truck pulls to the left or the driver's side. So can I conclude with almost 100% certainty that the passenger side brake caliper needs to be replaced because it's not working? Should I just go ahead and replace the passenger side caliper? Thanks for any replies.

Brake parts are always replaced in sets to ensure matched braking, so you would need two calipers. Make sure the rubber hose isn't collapsed internally , which can cause the same symptoms.

I agree with nick. Always replace both sides and replace the flex hoses too. Make sure the slides are working good if it's not a double piston type.
