Jeep pulls right while braking
 
’12 with 75k. Jeep pulls right under braking. The pads and rotors were replaced years ago with ebc.

Im guessing hose or caliper. What is the failure rate of each.

These jeeps have seen calipers stick, so I'd check there first.

My son cleaned my wheels recently. Do you think there is a chance he got some tire shine stuff on the rotor? If so can pass be cleaned?

themoneyshot Was there a lift done to your JK? If so, it might be either your caster or camber if off. My last JKU wobbles a bit on uneven pavement when I apply the brakes.

I've replaced 3 brake calipers on my 2012. If you experience pulling while braking you can pull over and put your hand on or near the wheel (be careful). If the caliper is stuck the wheel will be hot!! Be cautious when touch the wheel...

If it started pulling to one side right afterward, yes. I'd take the wheels off and use brake cleaner on the rotor while rotating it and wiping with a clean rag. Then heat the brakes up with a couple medium-hard stops like you're bedding the brakes to burn/wear off what may remain.

I get a bull like this when I have control arm joints that have slop. Has happened 2x in 2 years.
