[QUOTE="Myersprostatus, post: 12023685, member: 132449"] Sounds like you have a case of freeway "wandering" Does the wandering only occur when the brakes are applied? If it wanders without the brakes being applied it could be a few things, i'll list a few. -You have staggered wheels and the car is following the lines/tire wear/or your tire pressure is off. -Your allignment is off. If you have to much +caster the car will go where ever it pleases. -your steering gear(in your rack) may be worn or your steering shaft(intermediate shaft) may be worn out. Now if it only happens when you apply the brakes it would be more of a pull to one side than a "wander". Causes for this may include -The caliper piston is siezed or sticking on one side, lack of lubrication. -You have a brake fluid leak on one of your brake lines so only one side is getting hydraulic pressure. To pinpoint this problem, find a straight road with noone on it, let go of the wheel and apply the brakes. If the car pulls hard to one side you know only that side is compensating for the other. Inspect the system and verify. Again alot of the problems could be due to tire wear/size/psi. I would check that out first. hope this helped. If you have any other questions shoot away. -Mitch [/QUOTE]
