Front end pull
Hi all ... been a while since I've done anything constructive to the vette, but now it is time ....
It has developed a steady pull to the right while driving, just started a week or so ago ......
at low speeds it seems to have a shimmy (steering wheel goes side to side slightly)
at higher speeds it just pulls to the right, so much so that the steering wheel is held about a 1/4 turn to the left ......
I jacked up front end where both wheels off ground .....
both wheels seem to have same amount of small brake drag .....
both wheels spin as free as the other ....
tire pressure was off by 2# (rt side low) .... I adjusted and test drove, still pulling
power steering fluid ok ......
before I go to the tire shop and have the tires checked for round and all .... since they will try to sell me something I'm sure, has anyone else had this happen and what is a good place to start ?
thanks
Robert
