but not on my RR, it's on a friends '72 Dart. When he first got the car we went through the brakes and replaced everything except for 2 or 3 lines that were still good. They worked fine for a while but then they started pulling to the left, with the severity depending on how hard they were applied. He had tightened up the right side and backed off on the left side but the problem continued. Since one of the original lines started to leak he got a complete hard line kit which we installed yesterday. We took particular care bleeding the right front to make sure it had no air, but they still pulled to the left when applied. So we then pulled the front drums to make sure everything was ok. I had him gently push on the pedal to make sure the shoes expanded correctly which they did. The only thing I noticed was that the self adjusting cable was slightly loose, where the left side was not. That loose cable allowed the adjusting lever to be lower then, and not touching the adjusting screw. So I wonder, with the self adjuster most likely not working on the right side and not tightening up, but it does on the left be causing the problem? Or is there something else I should look for? Everything looks to be correct. Thanks.
