The brake calipers are designed to "float" or slide on their mounting surfaces. Dirt, road grime and brake pad dust and surface rust can build between the stirrup inhibiting surfaces to slide properly. A stirrups can be slower to take away from the other, and that is why the car pulls to one side when braking. Most assume that the oil or fat may have contaminated the brake. But it's not always the case.
There is an easy solution if your car pulls to one side when braking. Raise the car and remove the wheel. Release the brake caliper and raised out of the mounting bracket. Do not let hang the brake hose, put the Jack position or a block of wood underneath for support. Lose the contact surfaces of both the brake caliper mounting bracket. Using a piece of emery cloth or sandpaper and sand surfaces to eliminate any accumulation of rust, brake pad material or dirt road. areas with a clean cloth investigating store, and repeat this process until all mounting surfaces are clean and smooth. Put a touch of high-temperature bearing grease disc brakes on all mating surfaces, be careful not to put on the brake rotor or platforms. With your finger, deployment grease to clean surfaces to allow the fat to enter the pores of the metal. Wipe off any excess. Reinstall the brake calipers, the use of brake cleaner to spray all the fat that may have hit the brake or brake rotor. Repeat for the other side.
Test drive a car on a straight road at slow speeds, and applying the brakes, and get an idea of any sense of tension. Test at different speeds. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done, and the money saved by doing it yourself.
