2001 250 4x4
Having trouble with truck pulling hard left. I put new rotors, premium pads,
cleaned caliper slide pins and lubed. Same for rear. I've had others in fleet
pull but not as bad as this. Bought new calipers and hoses for front but
haven't put them on yet. Anyone have any suggestions I might try? Thanks Skip

My dealer put tire preasure back to 55lbs on both sides and all I could do is slap my forehead and say DOH! Always check the cheap simple things first. If tires and preasure are good then there is history of bad lower ball joints in that year group.

Maybe a stupid question but is it only when you apply your brakes?

have an alignment done on the truck and have the mechanic(s) look at the front suspension and steering components. could be anything in steering or braking systems. does the symptom happen during braking or normal driving?

Just had new tires put on. I checked pressure all at 80psi. Drives fine
until you start to brake. The more pressure the harder it pulls. On dry road
you can control it but wet road and it gets crazy. Thanks Skip
