Corsa brakes pants.

[aritchie]

anymore thoughts really need to get this sorted out.

Veering has to be an imbalance, stuck calliper etc! I had a sticking front on my old GTE and it was dangerous! Jump on the brakes and 1 side didnt work so the car pulled badly and nearly went sideways!

it is best to do it in this order i will explain why shortly.

rear passenger
drivers passenger
passenger front
drivers front

this is because the master cylinder is split into two circuits the passenger front and the drivers rear is one circuit and the drivers front and the passenger rear is another curcuit. it has been done this way because if the master cylinder does go down it will work two of your brakes still on opposite corners. i have worked on cars that have had a dodgy master cylinder and they have been driving for ages because the brake pedal was soft but it still worked and didnt make that much difference to the way the car stopped all that happened was the car had 50% less stopping power ie only work two opposite wheel's.

common sense tells me this is the correct way. especially with the reasoning behind it

just want to say thanks for advice as i am very shortly upgrading to astra gte brakes on the corsa. all advise taken on board

Just a quick thought.

My brakes on my Corsa Sport were pulling to one side.

It was the rear bias valve coming in too much as the car was lowered. Slackened this off to nothing, fitted V6 fronts.

It's a lot better
