But it is easy and will consider this after I jack up the car today and check for drag on the wheels. You know how cold it is outside today? I don't have a garage, either. I may need some warm scotch after this.

The transisiton of it pulling from one side to the next when driving normally and then braking sounds like the A-arm bushings are toast on one or both sides of the front of the car. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

Oh....I was just friggin happy...grrr..grrrrr....why does it have to be cold and snowy when I need to work on the car??? GRRRR!!! What I really need is a house with a garage....grrr....grrrrrr So now I will swap pads, scuff the drivers rotor and bleed lines to see if these are contributing to the problem. So far we have eliminated 2 suspension probs, slider pins and pistons. But it's so cold outside....
