Brake pedal low after turning LEFT ONLY ?
so in a straight line pedal works great brakes nice and strong. turn to the right , after I use brake it work again perfect , turn left and pedal goes half way down ..... ? any thoughts? have jacked car up checking for free play at 12 and 6 clock but seems quite minimal for a bad bearing to cause it.

I have the same problem but it did it Left and right. I then checked my axle nuts, one turned loose about 1/10 of a turn.
torqued this again, lock it again, and I'm going for new axle nuts all around.
but still have the same problem only when turning left my brake pedal goes half way down.
I have 2 bearings for the front in backorder, normally will have them next week and then I'm going to change them just to rule that out.

chears staff for your comment there. yes its a difficult one , I checked my axle nut on left and seemed ok , im thinking its possible I have air in the line to the caliper so with gravity when I turn left the air mab entering the top of calliper , don't know.... and I have no bearing noise either . if u could let me know how you get on thanks .

I'll do, I also don't have any bearing noise, but since it's 20years old I think it would not hurt to change a few wheel bearings.
Also because it's about the last thing that hasn't been changed already.
Done so far:
Master cylinder
Brake booster
master cylinder brace
braided stainless steel brake hoses
Brake calipers
Brake discs
Brake pads
If it isn't resolved changing the bearings I'm ditching my brembo's and go for AP.
I'll keep you posted when I'm done with it.

ok , I had my car up on ramps and the front passenger axle nut was loose , I think due to either a broken tie rod end, or a nasty pot hole I went over bust the tie rod end then caused bearing problem. but now the axle nut is now tighter, the brakes seem more stable , left turning does not induce large pedal travel. but pedal travel is slightly lower , going right left or forward stopping. but stable at least! just thought id share this info. check your axle nuts !
