Well until recently I haven't had a garage to work on it in. So some of these things aren't done yet. I don't think this is my braking pull issue but it definitely could account for my odd sqeeks at times. I replaced the caliper today but gonna fix that ball joint tomorrow so I haven't checked if the caliper fixed the pull. I doubt it had an impact cause it seemed to function ok when I redid the pads.

It can definately cause a pulling issue, mine did.

I dont have a garage either, I have worked outside on the car, as long as it is 30+ and sunny, lol.

30+??? This is why when this country was settled, there weren't many people in that part of it, it's because people aren't meant to live in weather that cold. It's 64* here right now and still getting a little warmer.

It's 68 here, and hopefully the weather will continue to improve. But if it is winter, and I need to work on the car, I do, like I said 30+* and sunshine is good enought for me, lol.

Ok, its not so much the garage issue it was that I was at an apartment and they REALLY did not like you working on cars. They would even send you nasty grams in the mail that you had been reported to the office and continued violation could mean eviction. But its nice to have my own place to do the work. But I think I may be licked on the ball joint. Having my neighborhood shop do it. Did the struts. Piece of cake with an impact wrench. Maybe after all this it will help the pull. I doubt the play in the stearing wheel will improve with this so we'll see whats next. Thanks for the info.

If you've done struts, then the only more to do for ball joints it 2 more nuts, one of the balljoint and one on the tie rod. You can rent a balljoint press from a parts store.

Well got the car back and appears that the ball joints were the issue. It still pulls very slightly but not bad at all. It also appears that the ball joints being changes has tightened up the play in the steering wheel. No sure why but i'm not complaining. Thanks for the help.

good to hear!
