Default Brakes are pulling - thoughts?

Recently installed new front rotors and pads. Re-used the anti-squeal pucks. Now, when I crank on the brakes, the car wants to pull to the left. Any ideas on the likely cause?

There are a lot of things that can cause a pull when brakes are applied. The easiest thing to check would be tire pressure. Second, check that the thru caliper bolts are snug. Did you bleed the brakes? If you got air in one side could have caused a pull.

Thanks John. I'll check the through bolts. Tires are even pressure and very recently bled the brakes properly. No air was injected during the rotor and pad change.

Check for leaks, stuck piston or brake pad out of sorts. Make sure everything is flush like it should be. If its new then its probably something you did. Also check your bearings.
