WJ pulling left when braking at highway speeds
04 4.7 HO
The Jeep sat for about a week. It now pulls pretty hard left when braking at 50 mph+. I put 2 new calipers on, new pads and rotors about 2 months ago. I'm going to grease the right side slid pins tomorrow but was a little surprised that they were sticking since they are new.
Any thing else besides pinched brake lines and sticky slide pins that I should look for?

Check the left rear caliper! Chances are good that's sticking and possibly dragging a little.

One other thing you can check is the rear control arm bushings. When mine were bad, it would wag the tail like a dog under braking.

Left rear slide pins were pretty dry but i lubed the right front too but that seemed fine. Completely took apart the left rear, cleaned and greased everything. In any event, problem is fixed. No more pulling. Thanks all for the help.
