finally got my steering-pull issue ironed out. it's truly amazing what half inch on a track bar can do.....
In all seriousness the front axle was shifted over probably a good inch to the driver's side causing it to pull left pretty hard.. I searched a bunch of threads on "steering pull" and such. The common answers were:
bad alignment(i guess this kinda applies)
sticky/seizing brakes
collapsed brake lines
air in brake lines
improper MC/proportioning valve install or bleed
tire pressure
bad tires
bent axle
bad ball joints or bushings
uneven adjustable arm lengths
incorrect steering geometry
bad TREs
****ty steering in general
thrust steer from misaligned rear axle
and finally offset front axle.
Needless to say, it's my fault for checking one of the easiest things last. I had "eye ball" centered the axle before but the truth came out when i started measuring things.
moral of the story is make sure your front axle is centered
