Hmm, I jsut performed a 4 wheel brake job, are you thinking maybe I dont
have them adjusted properly? I have already been through the process of
changing the master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders front calipers and lines
when I was having the hanging brake problem. I will get under there on my
days off, but the funny part is its at highway speeds with no use of the
brake..

Would that cause the nose to rise and veer left during acceleration and
"dive" veer right for deceleration without the brake? It seems to have a
ever so slight pull left during cruise speed, but it isnt an annoying pull,
let go of wheel head off the beaten path kind.
