I am new here and i have purchased a gs300 and i need you guys opinion about the braking issue i have. well when i brake the car it seems to pull to the right more and the braking is not distributed evenly. what could be numerous things that i need to check for or if you guys have had the same problem as i am. i would like to know what to look for before i start replacing the front brakes and rotors. thanks.

Probably just a stuck slide pin in one of the calipers.

could be something wrong with the brakes (service and inspect the front brakes) also could be an alignment issue or bad suspension parts..really hard to tell without an inspection.

Stuck slider pin or seized pistons.

Take the front calipers off, clean them, check the pistons, clean & regrease the sliders pins.

probably a seized up piston.

well it seems that the noise shims are loose where it clips to the back of the brake pad. everything else looks fine as i inspected the calipers and rotors.

well i re-greased the guiding pins and replaced the brake pads and test drove the car and it seems to fix the problem for right now i guess we have to see for another few hundred miles or so. also looked at the caster arm might have to replace the bushings on that as well.

Could be that they weren't bled properly.
