Hi as the title says really.

I have recently converted to 7.5" disk setup. Ive adjusted the rear drums (used to lock the left rear under heavy braking), and was fine for a while. Now when i brake really hard the car pulls to the right and sometimes lock the right front tyre.

Is there a way to adjust the front brakes so that it will bite evenly left-right?

Cheers

Syed

No adjustment as such on calipers only thing you can do is make sure that the pistons in the calipers are moving freely in and out..check condition of flexible hoses, and also bleed the system.
Also check pads for any signs of contamination..
Depending on age of discs won't hurt to give them a rub with some abrasive paper to clean them up
