Hi all

MOT people tell me there is a difference of 29% effectiveness between my front left and front right brake.

what i want to know is - will renewing in pads on both, correct this? and if not how do i correct it?

if your pads & discs are in good condition try bleeding the brakes , could have air in the system , could have a sticky caliper .

does it pull one way under braking ????

its almost certainly because of a sticking caliper, often just stripping it down and a good clean out will be ok "for now".. or a recon caliper/pair of calipers is the answer if you're not scared to spend any money.
