pulls to the left when you hit the brakes (yes it is aligned)

ok my ranger has always done this but its getting worse. it pulls to the left when you hit the brakes or when you just let you hands off the wheel. ive had it alined twice. anyone know what it could be

Replace your right brake caliper and rubber brakeline. The caliper isn't working and the left is. That is why it is pulling to the left. Might want to replce the pads while you are at it too.

That sounds like a leap when it's also happening without braking at all.

Bad radius arm bushing?

i replaced both front calipers and pad ( long story had brake trouble) and hum ill have to look at the bushing dident think of that one

Wait a minute....I thought the radius arm bushings were gone in 98?

 

[Explorin94]

If it was a radius arm bushing it would not have aligned right. It would have come out when the front tires were swept side to side. I'm sticking with a deteriorating brake line. If both calipers were replaced.

Check your air pressure. Mine pulled funny, especially when braking, and about a 10psi difference will do it. Stupid corroded alloys....

I'm not familiar with these newer trucks but I'll make some guesses;
Caliper piston sticking?
Pins or slides on caliper sticking, needs lube?
Wheel bearing loose?
Good luck,

thanks guys ill check into the brake line and tires. i know my right tire always has a stupid leak it in. stupid alloy rims. but i always through it would pull to the right if that was the problem
