Hi,
I desperately need some help here. I have a 2005 Pajero DiD LWB and the left rear brake is braking a split second after the right rear brake causing the car to feel as if it is digging in to the right when slamming on brakes, although it still stops straight. Mitsubishi have dismantled & re-assembled the left rear brake and this has helped marginally. The master cylinder fluid distribution is controlled electronically, and Mitsubishi tell me that their computer does not pick up anything untoward in this area. Safety Brake tell me that they cannot repair brakes that are electronically controlled.
Can anyone suggest a remedy?
Dave
Dave,
How do you know the one rear brake grabs a split second before the other one?
Why do you say the car is "digging in to the right" if it stops in a straight line?
Is it the GLS model with traction and skid control?

Hi Roelf,
Yes, it is the GLS with traction & skid control.
I had the car up on a Dyno, and it showed the left rear brake re-acting a split second after the right rear brake.
With regards to digging in to the right, it is just a brief lurch to the right when stamping on the brake at speed, but if I hold the wheel lightly it will still stop straight. i.e. the car does not swerve to the right

My personal opinion is to leave things as they are.
You needed a machine (of which you most probably haven't seen a calibration certificate) to point out something.
The car stops true under emergengy "stomp" braking.
Don't fix if it ain't broke is my motto
