A few minutes ago I wrote to the list:

My TR6 has developed a problem in which it has a tendency to pull to the right
slightly when first applying the brake relatively hard, but not when applying
gently.   After hard application, and holding pressure on the pedal, the car
straightens out, but after releasing the pedal, the car feels like it squirms
back to the left.    I have adjusted the rear brakes, and rebled the system,
but the problem continues.   Any ideas?   Your response is greatly appreciated
in advance


Some more details:

When bleeding, I am disappointed in the amount of fluid that comes out of the
front calipers,  less than the rear.   Enough comes out to get a good bleed,
but certainly not as much as I have seen in other situations.   The rear
suspension was rebuilt recently, and the car drives and steers like a dream,
but I have not checked the front bearings yet.   One more item, the master
cylinder was replaced (by me) about two years ago because the old one had
developed a leak.

Can the PDWA valve cause problems like this?

Thanks, Mike
