86 280i S2- are the front brake hoses from a mk2 Granada?

Before I go and pull the calipers apart I might just change out the hoses and see if that solves the issue. Car is pulling to the right under braking. They have already been changed once to st/st ones but it still might be the problem. I can get a Delphi brake hose that crosses to the Mk2 Granada for a few $. Not bothered if I switch back to regular hose v st/st.

Thanks.

Very much doubt it is the hoses causing your problem, why not swap side for side to prove/disprove?

Hi mate...Mine was pulling hard to the right due to the left caliper playing up, I have since swapped them over for a known working set and all is fine...Ziga

Mine pulled left. Calipers seemed OK when I took then off, seals intact and pistons moving freely.

Changed ARB bushes and that cured it.
