[Healeys] Slight pull to the right

[Alan Seigrist]

Ric -

First check for a loose or worn (leaking) shock.  Then check all
fulcrum/king pin links at the bottom, make sure somthing isn't loose
or gone.  Check track rod ends make sure one isn't so loose it is
causing a tire to toe out.

You can easily check for toe-out by parking car with wheels straight
ahead.  Take a long string and hold one end to the rear tire then pull
the string forward to the front tire.  If either of the front tires
shows a slight "toe-out" when referncing the string that should
indicate your problem.

Finally, if none of this shows a problem, you may need to take your
brake calipers off and check if one of the pistons is corroded and
thus dragging a brake on the right disc.
