    Hope someone can help:

    My 1995 F355 was pulling badly to the left whilst braking. This only occurred just as I was coming to a final stop, then the steering wheel yanked itself to the left, at all other times whilst using the brakes it was fine..anyway the front calipers were sticking so I replaced them both with a new set of brake discs and the pulling is now greatly reduced but not completely ...she still sometimes pulls to the left just before coming to a dead stop.
    What other components need to be checked to eradicate this problem?

    You could have a restriction in one of the flexible brake hoses, especially if they have been clamped too much.

    Other things to consider that can cause or emphasise a brake pull - steering geometery / tyres.

    What happens with the internally collapsed brake line is that when you lift off the brake the pressure to the caliper does not decrease as fast as the good side. Does your car pull to the left when you are letting off the brake, at the end of the stop?
