<VV> Odd Brake Problem

[Doug Mackintosh]

It looks like you did thing to 2 brakes (I am assuming the front ones). Have you considered the possibility that one of the rear brakes is the cause of the pulling? A right rear brake grabbing will pull to the right, and a left rear not working would pull to the right.
