We have a 1991 BMW and today my husband changed the brake drums on the car. Now he is not the most mechanic savvy person, but he generally does a good job. He changed everything and said there were no problems. However, when he was on his way home today he noticed that every time he was turning right the car started to decelerate at a fast rate. He said he had to accelerate just to make it around the turns otherwise it felt like the car would come to a complete stop. Now, keep in mind I don't know if the car is actually braking or if it is friction being caused from something that is slowing the car down.
Does anyone know what would be causing this? Or has anyone ever heard of something like this happening? I can't really provide anymore information because that's all he has really told me. The mechanic he generally takes the car to is on vacation and won't be back. So that isn't an option right now.
Car brakes when turning right?
Your life depends on your breaks.
1) If this started after the brake job then that where to look.
2) Have him take off the tires a recheck his work
3) Get a mechanic to look at it . Many times there is no charge for a second opinion by a mechanic.
A brake problem can change your life dramatically in a fraction of a second. Get it checked out ASAP.

HI
One thing that comes to mind is did you get the front barren nut on tight. if not maybe the hub is twisting and binding up when he turns right.
good luck
