    I just replaced the front rotors and pads because I had warped rotors. Now the brakes wont brake evenly. Right side starts smoking and also pulls to the right during heavy braking. Please help.

    Needs bled right it sounds like.

    You need to bleed the brakes, both front ones and the rear one plus the rear proportioning valve

    If you bleed'em and you still have the same problem you most likely got a leak in your brake line or boot
