Pulling to the right

Phantom5oh · 02-18-2002, 12:31 PM

OK, I bought another Mustang as my daily driver, so I can concentrate on fixing up my '83.

The new Stang is a 94 GT with the 17" rim option. I got it cheap but lately the ABS has been kicking on in one wheel just before I come to a stop, could this be the ABS sensor in that wheel? It doesn't do it all the time.

Second the steering is stiff and it always pulls to the right. On the highway its numb and drifts to the right and needs constant correction. Just before I bought it the previous owner replaced the inner and outer tie rods and ball joint on the pass side of the car. He must have known he was selling it because he didn't do the other side. He did have it alligned, but to me it seems that the only way to fix the problem is to replace the drivers side now. Before I jump head long into spending money is there anything else I should check?

Take it to a Ford dealership. They should know or find out what is wrong with it. I'm almost ready to build my 400 hp 5.0 SEFI motor. My girlfriend is tired of driving my truck, so I'm looking for another daily driver. I looking for a '86-'91 Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis. I hate being in a small car with all those 8,000 lbs. Excursions and Suburbans running redlights. How's your '83 running?

Hey Al, the 83 is running great. I just needed to clean the contacts on the rotor. I miss the feel of the secondaries snapping open! But the 94 is soooo much more comfortable and better on gas. Plus its an auto so my girlfriend can drive it. Keep in touch Al I want to see this beast!
