Default Brake problem - updated

Hello,

I few days ago I was asking where can be a problem, because first time when I press brake pedal after I turn steering wheel to the end (only to left side) brakes dont work, when I press brake pedal second time brakes work and they work normal until I turn steering wheel to the end.

Problem Ive found with help on this forum, brake pad (on right wheel) moves away when I turn steering wheel to the end (left). Result is that left brake works OK, but right front brake doesnt brake because brake pad in moved away and when I press brakes pedal, brake pad move back into normal position and than brakes work normal until next time I turn steering wheel to the end (left side).

Now car will be in garage until monday when I have service, and it is nice to found out what is wrong and I will not found without help on this forum. But I write that just if someone will have same problem, to know where he can start looking for a fault

Default You're welcome :-)

Remember that your wheel spacers contributed to your wheel bearing problem. I see no value in those unless one is creating clearance for a big brake setup. Then maybe, but only if a different wheel choice would not have done so. (like factory fat fives---lots of clearance)
Form follows function in my book. I usually don't like any modification that sacrifices performance for the sake of appearance.
