New Project

Ok a little more progress done yesterday. I finished getting the wheel Spacers off. Inspected the front end. It was as bad as I thought it would be. I am gonna go ahead replace the steering hardware. And the "oversized coil springs. And new bushings in the suspension. I did drive it down the road to check for tire clearance without the wheels spacers and it's pulling to the left even worse now. So something is most definitely going on. Could be the obviously bad tires and alignment. I can't find any "bad" tierods or obviously bad ball joints. But I'll replace them all anyway. I can't decide on whether to lower it or leave it as is. I kinda like the ride height. With some shorter tires and 2wd coil springs it will set a little lower anyway.

Pulling left??

Usually left front disc brake caliper not fully releasing. They stick when they get old.

First the slides get crap in them and bind, then the piston in the caliper starts to hang up.

You can try cleaning and lubing the slide. Also working the piston back and forth with pry bars and then stepping on the brake pedal, repeat, repeat till they free up.

Otherwise you will have to replace the calipers and possibly the front (collapsed) brake hoses too.

For some reason the left front is the one that always hangs up. Take it for a short drive and you will probably notice the front brake rotor heating up, when you touch it. Pulling Left....
