Defender drag link adjustment
Fitted a new heavy duty drag link bar and ball joint, marked and measured the old one as best I could. The steering wheel is almost straight, some minor adjustment should correct this. But it now slightly pulls to the right when braking and the steering wheel pulls aswell?

Any ideas?

Check tire pressures first before gouhg any further. Strangely enough low on one side may well cause that. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

Did you just change the drag link, or did you change the trackrod as well?

As above, sounds like tracking, did you change rear bar too? Cheers
