95Finder Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 What's up, I just replaced my Steering Gear Box because it was leaking fluid...now when I press on the brakes I can feel the truck pull to the right...do I need to get an aligment after I change the gearbox out? Why would it only pull to the right under braking? If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 well, all I can sayis that an alignment problem can definitely cause this. Not to say it's the only thing, but it's the first place to start , and probably the cheapest fix if it does it. Also, the only place I was ever able to get a good alignment was at a Nissan dealer, even thoiugh I tried MANY other places first --just something to think about. Good Luck ---glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Finder Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Left hand brake caliper stuck open. Check the brakes all the way around It was fine yesterday, today after I changed the gear box out it started doing it, I think it might be because I didn't line up the splines as well as I should of and the steering wheel is actually turned a bit to the right when the wheels are straight. I guess I will pull the steering gear out again and line up the splines so the wheel is straight when the wheels are straight. Thanks for your suggestions.
