Last week I had new front brakes put on my 97 4x4 PU. The brake job
included turning the rotors and was done at my regular service station,
not at Nissan. I hadn't driven more than a hundred miles since the brake
job, and they were just short trips to shops, etc.
All was well until last night when I took a 7 mile trip to the store.
Just before arriving at the store, I felt a pull to the left while going
straight ahead. I thought it was the left front tire going flat, but
when I pulled into the parking lot, I checked and it was OK.
Driving home, it was constantly pulling to the left and when I applied
the brakes, the steering wheel jerked to the right for a second. I tried
this a number of times with the same results. Within a few miles of
home, I started smelling the brakes. When I got home, the left front
brakes were smoking. I will contact the SS tomorrow, but was looking for
a head start on what the problem might be. I got a feeling that the
brake fluid equalizer valve is not working.
