97 Mark VIII pulling to the right when braking

[drobs5]

So I've searched and it looks like the most common problem when this is happening is the strut rod bushings or lca/uca ball joints. Does that sound right? Is that where I should start diagnosing this problem?

yes.....sounds about right.

I would check out the front brakes while you're at it. Make sure you don't have a sticky/leaky caliper etc

Or a bad left front brake hose preventing the left caliper from working..
Best to get the wheels off the ground and spin each - do they both spin freely and evenly?

lower ball joints.
check em. and they'll be bad...

So I did the back up fast and hit the brakes deal tonight and sure enough the car pulls to the opposite side. Guess I'll be checking out the suspension asap.
