I suggest you jack the front of the car up , with wheels clear of pavement,
push on the brakes then release the brake pedal, if the wheel does not turn
freely within 2 revolutions
check the calliper and the flex hose. calliper sticking or brake hose
collapsing inside.
If wheel does turn freely then change tires to opposite sides, check all
front
end suspension components tightness and then take it for drive. If pull still
there , check front end alignment. If that is OK check rear brakes - one may
be sticking due to oil seepage on brakes. If this OK check for broken
springs,
check rear axle alignment. if this is OK check chassis alignment.

Hello listers,

My BJ8 has developed a slight pull to the right.  Tire pressures are correct
and there is no noticeable pull when braking.  Not a dramatic pull, just
isn't quite tracking correctly.  Advice as to where to begin?

Thanks

Ric
'65 BJ8
