Ric -
First check for a loose or worn (leaking) shock. Then check all
fulcrum/king pin links at the bottom, make sure somthing isn't loose
or gone. Check track rod ends make sure one isn't so loose it is
causing a tire to toe out.
You can easily check for toe-out by parking car with wheels straight
ahead. Take a long string and hold one end to the rear tire then pull
the string forward to the front tire. If either of the front tires
shows a slight "toe-out" when referncing the string that should
indicate your problem.
Finally, if none of this shows a problem, you may need to take your
brake calipers off and check if one of the pistons is corroded and
thus dragging a brake on the right disc.
