normal for the x
 
Hey i have an X w/sport 4.4i 2006. Is it normal when you brake for the truck to pull to the right. it only has 1010 miles?

No,
no kidding, lol!

My '01 with 55K miles on it, will stop dead straight, hands off wheel,
in a very hard brake from 70 mph-0.
Go get it fixed at the Stlr.

My 06 4.4 does the same thing. The delaer tried telling me it was the natural concave of the raod that was causing this. They did an alignment and nothing needed changed.

I am getting camber plates installed tomorrow which will require an alignment. We will see if there is a difference.

Have them look at the brakes as well. If it is pulling to the right, your left caliper might not be working as is should. Or possible air in the left line.

Most of the time when you brake and it pulls to the right or left, it has to do with braking more then alignment. Have them check your brakes. I bet they will find that one side is wearing down more then the other. Might be just a bad caliper on one side that is not fully doing its job.

Not normal...I would definitely check the brakes like stated above.

Agree with others who blame the caliper. Not only could the mechanics of the caliper not be working right, take a good look at the alignment of the calipers on the rotors- one of the caliper bolts may have loosened or come off entirely.

I agree with all of the above, but road contour can be a factor - test your braking on a known flat surface (ie mall parking lot (empty, of course), new concrete highways are normally fairly flat, or old airport runways) - best to see if your pulling to the right is constant everytime you brake, before spending $.
