PULLS when braking...help w/ BUSHINGS
I've noticed that when driving at interstate speeds if apply much pressure to the brakes on my 300TD, she'll kind 'shift' to the right...but if i let off the brakes she'll straighten out. Doesn't seem to have the same effect when approaching stop signs or traveling at relatively low speeds.
Has anybody ever experienced this sort of thing from having BAD LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS? the lower bushing on my right side is trashed...the rubber is peeling out, and it's not sitting 'square' anymore because of the bushing collapse.
Or is this symptomatic of BAD STRUT ROD BUSHINGS? I've heard that usually the symptom of those going bad is a 'knocking' sound when making hard turns...which i have none of.
Or, finally, would you suspect a braking issue? I've got relatively new rotors/pads/hoses/rotors front and back.
I could really use some help...
