Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / June 2005Dak pulls to the right
I just bought a used 2003 Dak Quad cab.(25000 miles). It pulled to the right when I test drove it, dealer said he would align it, still pulled to the right. I took it to another shop and they realigned it, it still pulled the right so they checked it again and it still does it. It does not pull any worse when you apply the brakes, it just takes a slight pressure on the steering wheel to keep it from running off the road on the right side. It even does it if you drive on the wrong side of the road where the "crown" of the road should make it pull slightly to the left. Any ideas?? The last shop thought it might be a bad brake caliper, the right side pad seems to be worn a little more than the left. I already checked/greased the caliper slide bolts. Does anyone have any other suggestions? TIA, Tom It could still be the caliper. If you are noticing added wear on the right pads, that is a pretty good indication. While greasing the caliper bolts will help it slide better, the problem could be the piston hanging up or possibly (although unlikely) a bad brake hose not fully releasing pressure. I would look further into those brakes on the right side and possibly replace that caliper.

Thanks for the quick answer. Tom > yeah > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> TIA, >> Tom for cryin' out loud................ Both calipers plus both hoses will cost you around 80 bucks 24 and change each for the cal's, and about 16 each for the hoses throw in a good set of pads and you're still under $ 100 just DO it, fer Chrissakes > Do you know if there is any recall or TSB's on the calipers or should I just > go to NAPA or [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >> TIA, > >> Tom OK OK, you made your point, I would rather spend a hundred bucks than deal with the stealership anyway. Thanks again, Tom > for cryin' out loud................ > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >> >> TIA, >> >> Tom Before you spend a dime, try swapping the two front tires. Put the left on the right and vice versa. If the pull changes, you know it's the tires. > OK OK, you made your point, I would rather spend a hundred bucks > than deal with the stealership anyway.
