braking from any speed, car pulls to one side. BUT. if I brake again from any speed, similar intensity (even, more intense) it doesn’t pull to one side anymore. After about 13 seconds of straight line/consistent speed driving, the steering wheel SLOWLY centres a little more to the left, like the centre of steering slowly shifts counter clockwise. That’s why if I brake after this 13 seconds, it ‘pulls to the left’… why does my alignment change like this all the time??? brakes are apparently fine… no seizing or anything. All rods etc. are fine. \*I got my brakes checked, and my alignment done… ---

edit … Check all the bolts, on both front corners. T/c rods, balljoints, camberplates. What mods do you have done to front end. ---

I got the whole rods and links checked but everything seems to be ok (aside from some toe rods etc. but i got em replaced). could it be the brake hoses or something? nothings leaking and the brake pedal seems consistent but maybe the brake fluid isn’t travelling properly or something? ---

bleed the brakes could be air inside the one side still, sounds like you compress the air enough its stiff when u use the brakes often but then after a while it will pull again right?? ---

yep that’s exactly it randy! I did bleed the brakes, but i was wondering if there was some other gunk stuck in the tubes. I went to some alignment shop already but i guess they’re hags lol. Guess I’ll visit can alignment this weekend then! ---

He still has stock tc rods. Mechanic says they are okay, fate says 20+++ yr old fluid filled shit rubber parts are worn. ---

yeah, stock tc rods (but jsut replaced em!). every time I go over a medium bump the steering wheel centers slightly to the left lol wtf. It happens on any decelerative force, even when I’m not braking (like hard 1st gear to 2nd gear pulls, between shift.)… I got an appointment with canalignment but I wanna know as much as I can b4 going. @dylan yeah thats what I was thinking, not sure if the bumps on the road would affect that tho. ---
