could be any number of things.... alignment, bad bushings, bad trunion bearings, bad brakes, bad shocks, etc

stock steering plus lack of torque arm plus unknown condition of rigs plus about a 6pack will give you wicked brake steer.

i dont think its the 6-pack, it might be the keg i installed behind my seat!!!
all the steering componits look new/in-shape, i was thinking it might be my caliper on the right side, if its not compressing then im only brakin on the left side, but then my roomates does the same thing
someone mentioned the torque rods before, but im not sure what they are, if i ripped my sway bar linkage out would i be at risk? f-it. right?
