It would be helpful to know if you just threw brakes on it and took it for a spin or what else may have been done. Old tires? MIsmatched as warren mentioned?  The key thing you mentioned is that this is a pull when driving AND braking. I'd look elsewhere other than just the brakes. Quick check... recheck the torque on the wheel bearings and if that's ok look to the front strut rod bushings... cracked, rotten, missing? You'll be all over the road

Hi All,

I'm in the process of getting my newly acquired 300 J on the road. Among other things, it needed new brake cylinders and lines and all were replaced. The brake linings and drums all looked good with no leakage or unusual wear. Now, during driving and moderately hard braking, the car pulls strongly to the left. After stopping, the right front drum is very hot. The brakes were adjusting according to the service manual. We are going to pull the right front wheel and examine it, but any suggestions before we do so would be appreciated. Thanks.

Al
