66 Barracuda 10" drum brakes. When you apply brakes easy it pulls to the left. If you apply brakes hard it will stop straight. What is wrong with this car??
Thanks :smile:
 
Make sure the left brake wheel cylinder is not leaking a bit of brake fluid and making it
grab/stick sooner, if not, adjust the left brake out a touch is the first thing
I would do and look at.
Inspect your pads and drums as well, a worn hub or brake shoes on ether side.
 
Check the rubber stop on your front strut bars. They're usually worn out and when you hit the brake the whole assembly slides forward and causes it to pull the car one way or the other. It drove me nuts till I fixed mine. No amount of fixing the brakes could solve it either.
