I had been noticing the car veering off to the right under braking getting slowly worse over the last few months. Nothing coming through the steering, just the car changing direction slightly. You make a slight steering input to bring the car back in line and then when the brakes are released you take the steering input back off. Thought it might be front brake or suspension problems but all checked out ok..

Checked the rear brakes and found 3 out of the 4 pads had seized in the caliper 

All now freed off, steers straight under braking and braking improved somewhat

Happy days.

Worth checking again in a couple of weeks, to check its not seizing again.

How do Weds. Ime braking issues cause the car to vear. Where as a chassis fault like loose wishbone bolts, failed bushes or possibly idler , causes the steering wheel to vear.

But good stuff with the callipers

Which is what it felt like, there wasn't any pulling on the steering wheel, just the car veering off to the right...
