Brakes Pulling to the left
Just wanted to post some more info on this in case anyone else has this problem. My 2007 EB 4x2 with 4,000 miles pulls to the left while braking at freeway speeds. The dealer has replaced pads, turned rotors, disabled ABS, etc with no luck. It is at the dealer now and I will keep updating this post as I find out information.

Update: Talked to the service manager at the dealer I have the truck at. We went on a test drive and the car pulled while braking at freeway speeds. He thinks it is the right front caliper. He thinks as it heats up a bit it is sticking. The problem is under visual inspection all the brake components look fine. He said all parts replaced that appear normal have to be sent to Ford and if they are found not to be defective the dealer is back charged. So, what this means to me is I have to take one more test drive in a few days, he will record the problem and then Ford will approve the replacement of the caliper. Pain in the azz, but whatever it takes.
