Hello all my 90 was swerving bad to the right when braking hard so... I've changed discs pads and calipers and still the problem persists. Anybody had this problem before? Or clues as to what's causing it? Cheers in advance
 
Is there any play in your steering? Check your drop arm ball joint. Mine drifts to the left when I break, combination of my tracking and drop arm ball joint:confused::
 
brake hose on left side blocking up? common on other cars for the flexi hose breaking up internally and causing this, try bleed brakes again.
 
Not wanting to teach you to suck eggs but have you checked your tyre pressures?

My step father was complaining of pulling to the left when braking in his truck, sure it was the brakes.... Near side pressure 3psi off Side pressure 40psi... Ouch... Yeah it's been doing it for ages he says must be the brakes....

Useless...!

Get in take it for a drive... No handbrake at all... How long has it been like that? Oh I meant to say something before Christmas....

Idiot...!!!!

He is just completely negligent with his equipment runs it until it stops then complains to me that it won't work anymore...

Tyre pressures all fine inflated/deflated on a regular basis for off road purposes
 
There you go told you you didn't need to be taught how to suck eggs... ;)

Other Things to check:

bushes and correctly torqued bolts
Wheel bearings
Ball joints
Swivel pins and end float
Wheel nuts (odd I know but LR alloy wheel nuts do come loose)
Steering drop arm
Steering box play
Steering column UJs
Air in brake calipers
Uneven tread on tyres (might be worth slinging a set of road tyres on to check as MTs can accentuate the problem)
Worn or leaking shock absorbers


Is it pulling whenever you brake or is it just the roads camber?

Just thoughts...
