    Intermittent brake issue

    Every now and then when applying the brakes I get slight sharp pull to the left. It does not happen all the time. Could this be a sticking caliper or maybe a worn suspension bush etc?

    i had similar a lil while back. suspension bushes and a brake bleed got it sorted. could be other stuff to but check suspension bushes first they are easy to spot!

    Have a look at the pads, might give you an indication of what is going on. Mine was pulling a bit to the right, and I found that the front inner left pad was worn almost diagonally - one of the pistons must have been stuck - the others were worn fairly evenly. I have since fully rebuilt a spare set of calipers with a new piston/seal kit for each side, new TRW pads and all straight now.

    might also be worth checking the condition of your brake lines...

    if you have a brake line deteriorating then I guess there would be the potential for uneven braking although I would imagine if it was the case your pulling problem would happen all the time.
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    No leaks. It feels ok under breaking untill you go over an uneven patch in the road the wants to pull to the left. Have ordered a new set of pads so will see how that goes. New bushes throughout are on my to do list.
