You say its pulling to the left when you brake. You mentioned that you checked the calipers on the right.. but no mention of the left?
Is that right?

Hi
   thats right, pulling to the left under braking very badly when you slam them on, so the left front caliper is working so i thought my problem was with the right, this checked out fine when i took it apart, along with disces and pads  :-/ :-/ and rolling brake test
  No accident damage to the car  :-/ :-/
  I was thinking of taking the wishbone out on that side just to check  :-/ :-/

Left one working more than the right one?

brake pads the same thickness?

rear ones could throw it out.

Bloody pain in the ass omegas when not working right  :'(

Hi
   Just thinking of something, am i right in thinking that the rear caliper piston needs to be in a certain position before refitting pads, it has a cutway on the piston, if this is wrong would that cause this to pull to the left  :-/ :-/, next will be the wishbone to come out, fingers crossed  :-/ :-/
