<VV> brake hoses - pull gone

[Michael Kovacs]

Some times the pull due to the brake line is a soft line that expands a bit and therefore reduces the pressure to the brake cylinder. This sometimes feels like an initial pull then a straighter stop.

I'd been having an intermittent pulling to the left problem with my brakes. Now I'd read here and elsewhere that pulling is symptomatic of the flexible brake hoses going bad. Well I finally got around to changing them and you know what? It worked! The ding-dong brakes pull nice and straight now. What's weird to me though, is that when I removed the old ones, I blew through them and they were clear. So I was dissapointed thinking that wasn't the problem but when I went on my test drive the pull was gone.
