I need help with my brakes

[bigdrum]

Thanks for any help
My front passenger side disc brake will not release all the way and causes the steering to shake at highway speed. I have replaced the following part with new ones, rotors, pads,wheel caliper, mastor cylender & slides that were lubed with I temp grease, and it steal is shakeing and it pulls to the right slightly. frontend has ben check and is line correctly. And the right front has more brake dust on the wheel. IT is a 1991 Explorer.
I've said it before and I'll say it again THANKS

Bleed the entire system

Watch the pass side caliper IF it is grabbing and not releasing......IF it is....then you should concentrate your efforts there.

Sometimes the caliper slides are at fault.........clean and re-greese them.

Sometimes its the caliper that needs re-building.

And, sometimes it goes all the way back to the master cyl......you'll likely have to replace or re-build it.

Aloha, Mark

If that doesn't work, consider replacing the flexible brake line going to the caliper. It may be collapsed (internally). Make sure you soak the connection to the metal line with PBlaster or WD40.

It sounds like your Passenger side is acting OK, it's your drivers side that might be frozen.

It's a common error that whne a vehicle pulls to one side that 'we' think the problem is on that side. It might actually be the other side that is slow to react to the Brake pedal.
Have a look see at the Drivers side.

You replaced everything on the Passenger side. I can't imaging you would still have the same issues after replacing everything unless it was the Drivers side causing the problem.

Welcome to this forum! You would have to disable the ABS to bleed it out thoroughly. If the ABS kicks in when you try to bleed it, it might still have an air gap somewhere. How did you bleed it? Did you use a vacuum pump, or just step down on the brake pedal?
