Ok guys need you help. Driving my 73 GTS today and all of a sudden it pulls hard right. It doesn't sound like anything is catching, rubbing, etc. actually there is no noise and nothing odd other than it pulling to the right. I can keep it straight with the steering wheel however if I let the steering wheel go it pulls right.
I have to work so,dropped the car off at the house and grabbed my other car. I can't look at it until the weekend so I figured I would ask to see if any of you have had or seen those problem? Any idea where I should start would be appreciated. Vic |

Brake caliper or brake hose on the right side. If it is in the budget and in deed a brake hydraulic issue, I would recommend replacing both front calipers and hoses to those calipers.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

hoses because they swell shut and don't release the pressure on the caliper
as long as the system is down don't forget the flex rubber hose at the line splitter T on the rear end

Good call Rock. I once had an internal rupture of one of my front hoses on a lifted F250 4x4. Never thought about a brake hose doing that(I was 17 at the time). Definitely a X2 on the other rubber brake hose(s).

could be a tread seperation in the tire --maybe the king bolt let loose and slipped---
