Replaced the swivel ball seal after the old one spewed all the grease over my brakes.

I am now getting a jolt to the left when I first brake, this then stops and the landy pulls up hard and straight.

It looks like the new seal might have leaked more grease, ive power jetted the disk and the grease but it still seems to pull to the left when I first apply the brakes.

Anything else could make if pull to the left when first braking??
 
Mate when i did my swivel seals, they did leak ever so slightly at first until they 'settled in' however not enough for it to leak onto me disc, however if yours have leaked onto ya disc again youve more than likely contaminated your pads. I found it easy to clean my greased soaked discs however i cant see it coming off ya pads mate?

Give ya swivels a wipe and see if they leak any further, if not the prob my lye with ya pads!

P.s did you tighten up the small bolts that hold the actual seal plate enough? Also did you use 'One Shot' grease?
 
Are one or both of your calipers rusted and sticking? Have you checked your back brakes aswel as they will make it pull if stuck on.

Are your swivel balls rusted and pitted at all? If they are its likely they have damaged the seal again letting it leak. Again pattern part swivel seals leaked straight after i fitted them.

Have you cleaned your disks with a solvent cleaner instead of just a jet wash?

Best thing to do if they wont stop leaking is get new swivell balls with genuine swivell seals and then they should be bone dry on the outside even using EP90.
