I'm having my oil changed by the dealership and while there I asked them to check the brake system. I've noticed my brakes tend to pull to the right under minimal braking conditions.
Well, the service [edit: consultant] called me, after testing the car, and said they couldn't duplicate this and that the ABS system only starts braking one side before the rest kicks in. What the F***?! ran through my head. i've worked on lots of brakes to know that from right to left the braking pressure is the same. Granted front to back brake bias might differ but i've never heard of left to right unless there's a problem like air in the line.
I'll talk to the service manager when I go pick up my Insight to get his straightened up. Left to Right brake bias just sounds crazy to me. Is there something I'm missing with ABS systems or did they spout a bunch of hooey?
