N.C.O. Posted November 23, 2008 Share 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.
