Pull To Right

theponyfactor · 04-06-2006, 11:21 AM

Ok, I get my car back from Ford tomorrow. I'm getting that leak fixed, costing me about $1070:wallbash:

But, my car still pulls to the right, i had a guy look at it when he looked at my coolant leak and he said he thinks its the brakes and probably not alignment. He said it might be one of the calipers because it sits during the winter.

so my question is, since im already spending sooo much money on this, is there a way i can check/fix this myself?
Thanks

if it pulls to the right when pushing your breaks that means your left rotor is warped or the caliper is hanging up. if it pulls to the right all the time then it most likely is tie rods. weather its the tie rod ends or inner i have no clue. but i would start with the brakes..it might even bee that the back brakes are messed up mabe the left rotor is warped but the best way to check weather the back ones are bad or not is just push the brakes and if the car nose dives u have a probem

if the caliper is hanging up, is there an easy fix to that?

rebuild or replace. used GT brake kits are all over the place for cheap, step up to 99+ brakes if you're on a tight budget... same rotors just twin piston calipers doing the crunching.

If you've got 400 bones more to spend and you want to fix it with an upgrade (I would if I were you, stock GT brakes eat bawlz) grab a cobra kit. they're all over the web for 4 bills and they're sick easy to install and worth every penny.
