Chev Lumina ss ute 2009 - Brake problems

[Stratos 68]

Hi everyone.

Its my first post on this forum, so please be gentle - hahaha.

I live in South Africa and for some reason, Holden is branded as a Chevrolet here. I recently bought a second hand Lumina ss ute (i think its the same as a VE UTE SS) and from about 80km/h, when i dab the brakes, the whole right front dips. if i continue to brake, the car kind of straightens itself out but still doesnt feel normal. I took a pyrometer to it and found that the brakes on the right hand side were 30% cooler than the left hand side.

I have taken it to the dealers and all they did was bleed the brakes and leave an awesome comment on the job card saying "If the client isn't satisfied, he must take it to a brake speacilaist" and they don't have a clue. Has anyone experienced this or know what i could possibly look for. I don't have too much confidence in the brake specialist either.

Thanks

have you inspected the rotors and pads, on both sides, for defects or uneven wear ?

Could be sticky slides on it.
Might need a re grease on them.
