liberal 87

When I brake my 87 Spider it pulls hard to the left. She drives straight otherwise, so I don't think it is an alignment problem. The disk brake pads are fine all around.

Might have a sticking caliper piston on the RF making for an imbalance.

Don't discount an alignment problem. If everything in the brake department checks out OK then have the alignment and all suspension components (especially rubber bushings) checked.
