Made an interesting discovery tonight...

I was changing brake pads on Norm tonight when something threw me off. The pins were of different design, one having cotter pins and the other caliper didn't. I then took a good look at both...

I have been running with one ATE caliper and one Bendix caliper!!!! I know you are supposed to replace them in pairs, so this threw me off big-time!

Plan is to purchase an ATE and rebuild it. I now know why my car pulls to the right under braking...

If it were my car, I'd get two new ones.

^I thought about that, but I have rebuilt calipers before and am going to go that route. I'll be rebuilding both.
