My dad says that his 83SD is pulling to the left now when he drives and slows down, (he just drove it to chicago and back over the weekend) he said it began when driving around in chicago. Also sometimes when turning he'll hear a "clack/click" sound in the steering that he can feel. It only happens sometimes though. the pull to the left is noticeable enough that he has to counter steer it, and when braking he says its slightly stronger yet.

Any ideas on the likely culprit here? I thought maybe a tie rod problem, or a dragging caliper, but they seemed to be in good shape the last time we worked on them, and it has hyper strong brakes. Flex lines are also quite young (maybe a few years old) and brake flush was done less than a year ago with a power bleeder and about 3 liters of fluid.....

Suspension issue?

My car drifts to the right now, my alignment is probably off, I need to have that done sometime. its not very bad but if I let go of the wheel it definatlety heads to the right (but very gradually) and moreso than it did after its alignment about 2 years ago.... When slowing down it tracks perfectly straight though. Probably all the stupid michigan roads destroying my alignment.
