Default Steering wheel pull
It seems that when I brake, the wheel pulls to the left. As slow speeds, 0-10 the wheel actually can turn almost a quarter of the way! The calipers are from Muskegon and have been on for about a year and a half. I can't find any fluid leaks on my wheels or any other obvious signs of leakage. Any other place I should focus on?
