Finally Found my Brake Pull
(Preview)
My 68 2+2 has always had a slight brake pull to the right. Not huge but still there. I fought with it years ago and finally just loosened the brake setting on that side to smoothen it out to a point of being hardly noticeable. Well this past weekend I converted the front over to 70 single piston disc brakes....

I recently had a good look at my upper control arm bushings and without a doubt, these upper bushings are toast. The rubber is squishing out and the rubber hole is elongated and there is a lot of play in the bushing itself. So, I knew this day was coming that I would have to address the front end bushings (...
