2004 Sebring 2.4 brake mistery
 

Well, I don't know what to do next.
My 04 Sebring started to pull to the left when braking, I noticed it when driving on the highway, when I tried to slow down and tapped on the brakes it almost hit the car to the left.
I replaced the brake pads and the right front caliper just to have the same thing happen again. Then I replaced the right front hose, then the left caliper and hose, then the proportioning valve - with the thing still pulling to the left.
Today I got new calipers from NAPA (the first set was from Autozone, somebody mentioned that they sometimes are not so good), with the same result - when driving down the road and lightly applying the brakes the car veers to the left. I can feel the steering wheel pulling to the left too.
I tried slamming on the brakes to check the tire marks and the left mark was definitely longer than the left one.
So now I don't know what to do next - both front calipers, hoses, brake pads and proportioning valve have been replaced without any improvement.
Since there is a difference in the tire marks after braking I assume it is a brake system-related problem, I just can't figure what to replace next.
Can the hard line going to the right brake go bad? I could not see any apparent dents or any other damage, and it does work somewhat, just slower than the left one.
Any ideas?

........Turn your attention to the BACK of the car.........

Could also be a bad ball joint or tie rod end.

I was thinking about the ball joint and tie rods, I even replaced the left outer tie rod today without any change in the braking.
Can rear brake problem cause such a big pull to the side? I will check them tomorrow.

check your rear brakes, not sure if you have hydraulic brakes on all 4's, other wise you car has an improper alignment, could be due to a tie rod/end and or a ball joint.

"not sure if you have hydraulic brakes on all 4's"
Really?

LOL...I meant to say disk brakes...when was the last year sebring had rear brake drums

The rear wheels have drum brakes.
I just jacked the car up on stands and checked all wheels and they all have equal drag when the pedal is pushed to the same level, then they all release.
I guess it is a ball joint/tie rod issue.

BTW, when I drive down the road the car does not pull to one side, it stays straight when I let go of the wheel. It pulls to the left only when I brake.

I am happy to report that it is back to normal again - it was the left ball joint.It took me over 4 hours to replace it, I don`t have strong enough words to express my feelings about the designers at Chrysler Chryslerwho came up with this contraption.
I wanted to replace the right one too, but it is too difficult to do it without a pressing need.
