Re: Oil change, new fuel filter, and new idler arm and tie rods - but the Pitman was OK!

Thanks for posting back how it went.
Glad is is getting better.

On the front brake it sounds like there may be a problem.
There is no adjustment on it.
Drag on a front wheel is caused by sticking sliders or caliper sticking or a bad front brake hose.
If it still drags or runs warm it should be looked into.

The steering wheel center is part of a alignment and should have been done when it was aligned.

A slight pull can be adjusted on the front end alignment.

But rememeber the pitch of a road will make it pull to the right and should be set to your road conditions that you normaly drive on by the caster adjustment.
The more slope to the right the more it will pull to the right.
And the more caster you need on the right side.
Also load conditions if loaded on one side or a larger tire on on side and air pressure.

If it is pulling more to the right more than it should tell the aligment man and ask for more caster on right side.
Good Luck
