Ric, if you don't find any evidence of brake dragging with your foot off the
pedal, then you may have a bad tire.  If a tire develops a separation in the
sidewall or tread, it can affect the rolling resistance of the tire and
cause a pull to that side.  If you switch the tires from left to right,
etc., and the tire is the problem, the car will now pull in the opposite
direction.

Hello listers,

My BJ8 has developed a slight pull to the right.  Tire pressures are correct
and there is no noticeable pull when braking.  Not a dramatic pull, just
isn't quite tracking correctly.  Advice as to where to begin?

Thanks

Ric
