N.C.O. Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 If it is the alignment causing your problem, it would have pull to the left without applying your brakes. If it only happens when it is braking, your right front brake caliper may be sticking on its sliding pins. You may want to have your dealer take a look again, or take it to a different dealer, it should still be under warranty if that is the problem. N.C.O.
a/m Posted November 27, 2008 Author Posted November 27, 2008 thanks for reply's. i thought brakes are a wear/tear item not covered by warranty?? i buy Citgo gas [plus] could that be why they said i need 'throttle body work' ??

a/m Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 any idea, if in fact i needed 'throttle body'work [whatever that is] why my throttle bodies are going bad?? last winter the car was racing on startup and would only inch out in drive. i thought i was on ice,not the case, after 5 minutes was ok again??
a/m Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 Randy, thanks so much for explanation. i now understand this throttle thingie. my bf said to stop going to discount gas retailers.
