I have recently had my brakes completly redone. They have been adjusted and the front end aligned till the cows come home but I still have an issue of pulling to the right when the brakes are applied hard. When the wagon is going straight, it seems to pull to the left! I had a cheesy repair shop (which lost it's licensce three years ago, a year after I had my front end rebuilt) I had all the rubber parts and new shocks put on. I don't think the idler and pitman arm were replaced. I was told by another shop I had play in the steering and the box could use a replacing. What should I do? I hate this fighting the wheel thing!
