I've been dealing with a pretty persistent pull to the right for about 2 months now. Originally I thought it was a seized brake caliper, as I'd identified that one of the front right pistons was in fact seized. I already had calipers, steel brake lines, pads and rotors for all four corners, so knocked that out and still had the pull. Then had an alignment completed by one shop, and verified by another (well, asked them to re-perform and tech said that all four corners were in spec... that was a first).
I'm looking for a little advice regarding where to go next. Found a couple good threads on here with similar symptoms being treated with steering rack overhauls, but my bushings look good there, tie rods dont have any play, fluid is clean and not a whole lot of slop in the steering wheel.
Perhaps a circuitous way of getting there, but my rather rookie question is: can ball joints along cause something like this? I don't yet have any perceivable play in those, but they do have signs of wear and they ARE the factory original LBJs. They've been on my radar for a couple months and I'm curious if they could single-handedly present a condition like pulling one way or another?
