I can hold the Steering wheel completely straight, (the car doesn't need an alignment) and when I apply to brake to stop normally, the car will pull to the right. My father and i also spent 2 hrs bleeding the brake system thinking that could have been the problem. I just remembered that there is what I think may be a proportional valve behind the engine on the firewall, could that be causing part of the problem?
