intermittent pull to right

Tuff problem for me. I can drive down the road and it has a sudden pull to the right for 2 to 5 seconds. Steering can be ok for a while, then it will do it again. Truck is an 85 F150 4X4. New steering box, calipers, tie rods, steering link, ball joints and lockouts. Front end aligned and checked for any movement or worn bushings. Problem remains.

Sounds like your right break caliper is locking up. Maybe a bad Master Cylinder. If the calipers are new I would try looking into seeing if your MC was bad.

Thanks for the reply. If it were the brakes, I would think it would be more steady. It pulls for a short time and then it's fine for a while, then it may or may not pull again. All without touching the brakes. I did although lock the hubs in today and found it drove as nice as could be. I did have a bad lockout on the right side and replaced them with new, but unlocked, still an intermittent pull.
