Will that fix it? What if it doesn't? You've spent a whole load of cash and it still dives. The are plenty of non-ps, non-xo luxes that don't pull under brakes.

Are the rear brakes locking up?? I thought if the front pulled to the right check the left rear brakes and vice versa.

Yeah it need to have the play fixed in the steering anyways. i was goign to leave p/s till last.

no the rear dont lock up...i dont even think the rear work.... i carnt adjust the rear as i need to replace the adjustersin the drums..they are frozen soild.... i think its basiclly 95% front braking.

No i have not checked the fuse's...ys that ?

i thought portion valuve may have air in it...my toyota manual says its possible.
Cheers, Hayden!

i found any slight braking difference between sides on the front was accentuated when my rears were frozen solid (76 fj40 though)...
