just a question on this one, since im used to it. ive owned this truck for a year and a half now, and between the obvious abuse it had taken (you can see how well it was cared for if you look underneath... i spent 2 weeks putting rust converter on and blacking everything out under the car.. inc the wheel wells) anyway, it seems to have recently developed a steering problem, when you hit the brakes, the car pulls to the right (passenger side) and occasionally when accelerating feels as if it pulls slightly to the left (drivers side). It doesnt always happen even, but it started happening about a month or two ago when i was driving home at midnight in the pouring rain and had to use 4wd to get up my road, since its steep and never cleaned. the wheel after putting it out of 4wd was cocked to the left about 10 degrees past straight, which it had been since i bought it. the wheel stayed like that until i disconnected the steering on the passenger side while replacing the cv joint due to extreme ware. uppon reconnecting it it sat straight, but now has this problem. its not so much of a big pull as it is a jolt, then the wheel wanting to be facing a different direction (once again about 10 degrees to either side). also upon replacing the cv joint i noticed that the inside brake pad on the front disks was only hitting in the middle of the pad.

anyway, any help is appreciated
