Brakes problem
2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi I have 2 questions

First. I exchange brakes in my car and after that I notice that when i'm driving and I let go steering weal my car start turning left. I didn't happened before so I double check brakes and I bleed them again and nothing help. Any idea what can couse this problem?

Second. My A/C doesn't work. I find out that it's my compressor. Here is a question. Can I exchange it by my self? Is it not against the law, because I read somewhere that u need to be license to do it.

I'm just jumping in on all kinds of questions today. Anyways, have you thought the car might need a front end alignment? Or a low tire will do that also, as well as a brake dragiging

I' did an A/C compressor and didn't have the fancy 134a vacuum pump. I replaced the compressor, the filter/dryer and all the seals. I stuffed rags in the hoses as soon as I opened them up to keep air and mositure out. Then put the new parts on it and cranked it up -- it worked good. (That was on a F150)

One word of caution -- a friend of mine who is a mechanic happened to stop by and recommended tripling the amount of oil that was provided with the R20 to 134a conversion kit.
