I had a seized brake on the front near side. Have changed piston and seals.
Under heavy braking the car pulls violently to the near side.

I am ruling out suspension problems.
Could be tyre pressure so will check but brakes.
If it pulls left, is the left brake working better or worse then the right brake?
I get the impression the right wheel will lock up and the ABS has to do its thing when I test. This leads me to think left brake is not as good but then I would expect the car to pull to the right. This has left me confused.

I accept near side pads may have over heated and are now duff but what of the disc, if it still runs true, even though it too got very very hot is it still usable?
