Dear Traum:

One item that is very important are the cables. They need to be lubricated with graphite grease. This is a big job, but binding cables will cause pull.

In the olds days they had Asbestos linings and drive on machines to evaluate equalization. Brake performance problems were common even with cars serviced by the dealer. However, there were 95% fewer cars on the road in those days. On a car with mechanical brakes a pull should be considered as causing a control problem.

Flat spots on wheel bearings will also cause control problems.


Good luck with your car.
