1995 Chevrolet Blazer LT 6Cyl4.3L - Brakes

Follow

Hard vibration when braking, pulls to the right, (replaced hub assembly), eating through brake pads, warped new rotors

I've replaced the front brakes 3 times since Sept 2009, need them again. Replaced rotors in January 2010; need again. Changed calipers in January also.; although, not needed.
Was told it could be the brake hoses. How many hoses are on the right side of a 1995 Chevy Blazer 4wd? How hard is it to replace them.

  Check the following for possible causes of vibration
  
  Check tyres for alignments and wear
  
  Check disc rotor or hub for warping
  
  Check axle bearing failure
  
  Check defective drive shaft U joints
  
  Siezed calliper or wheel cylinder on one side – overhaul or renew if piston or cylinder is worn
  
  Contaminated linings on one side – renew (both sides)
  
  Normally, only one hose connecting from master cylinder to disc brake cylinder

  if the right front piston caliper compresses ok when changing your brakes,then its allmost %100 guarenteed the brake hose has collapsed inside.i would change that and make sure it comes with new copper washers for the banjo fitting.
