[doc] Re: Something aint right with the front of my car - any ideas?

["Chris Williams" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Worn Calipers caused some very peculiar effects on my car ie; 
pulling in one direction or another, bad vibration/wheel wobble on 
heavy breaking. Since changing both front calipers for a service 
exchange pair (fairly cheaply) the front end has been much better 
behaved. I'm not saying for sure it is this but it worked for me!

What about the wishbones...do they bend?  When the rubbers wear 
Could they contribute to a right pull?
