pulls to the right under braking, check to see if the calipers are sliding freely, ive had this problem happen to my 1200 ute in the past and found a sticking caliper.

Noticed that my front bumper endcaps are actually covering a full wrap around chrome bumper.
Is this normal, or has somebody glued endcaps on an early bumper or something?

I was temped to tear them off but the rear bumper NEEDS the endcaps as its just C section, not wrap around.

mine had the caps removed. Didn't look too bad. There was a cutout on part of it on each corner. also had a wee stud type thing on it. but in all honesty they person who ever noticed was a datsun nut.

Corrosion was more prevelent than expected, so 3 patches ensued.
Pulled the caliper apart and it was stuck real good like,
so cleaned it as best i could, chipped as much of the rusted scale off and re-assembled.. When Bled, ill se if that helps.
I hope to christ it does because I havent had a driver in about 2 months and its poos.
