And it is all around squirrelly.

Hi,

Does it pull at all times or when the brakes are applied? Have you checked the steering components such as tie-rod ends and ball joints? Are there any odd sounds you have noticed? Is there anything that causes it to stop pulling?

Not always, but often a hard pull is caused by a stuck or inoperative brake caliper that either holds pressure at all times or does nothing when the brakes are applied.

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,

joe

I haven’t done much testing of it. Pulls while accelerating. And when I say pulls, I mean it will pull the wheel out of your hands.

Have you checked at the rear axle for a problem with the trailing arms? I've seen them rust a break.

Take a look at the attached pic and let me know.

Take care,

Joe
