Slight pull after new tires and brakes.
1992 Jeep Cherokee Limited, brand new tires, rotors, drums, pads, RH
inner tie rod end. I had not gone 10 KM's before I noticed the brake smell at a stoplight. The next time I slowed down for traffic it pulled to the right slightly. I was doing about 40km per hour and just eased the brakes on as they are new. All the work was done by a well known and respected and certified shop and all work is under warranty. What could be causing this, and will it dissipate over time? Dave in Canada eh |

Since you are smelling hot brakes, and pulling, I would have them recheck their work. There are a number of things that can cause uneven braking, including failure to properly adjust the rear drums, uneven application or release of calipers, etc. Collapsing brake lines are sometimes implicated. At any rate, with that much work, you should expect the brakes to pull down equally, and I think you should have the shop see why they aren't doing it. |

I will >keep a close eye on the situation, thanks for the feedback Some brake pad manufacturers eg: Bendix use a titanium coating on the pads that helps the brakes stop easily when first installed. They typically make a nasty acrid burning odor. The first time we used this type of brake pad we were sufficiently alarmed that we re-checked the whole brake job looking for a clogged brake hose or caliper problem. We now know better and have a canned explanation in the repair order software that we punch into the ticket when we use brake pads with such a coating. Once the pads are seated the odor will be gone. If the odor and pull are now gone you should have absolutely nothing to worry about.
