I have noticed that on my ride the right side is alot worse than the left. What would cause the right side to look like i've been hard on the car when the left side looks new?

My belief is that sometimes the brake pads need on new cars need to "equalize". Which means that the difference will go away with time.

Muffler Bearings....Yea i better check the thingie mabob that connects to the dohickie. Thanks you guys....I don't pretend to be a mechainic but i have prepped my racecar for the last 10 years.

Last time i have seen this was on my GEN 1 Viper. Under breaking car was tracking right. I will run a few tests later in the week to see if when i apply breaks she turns right. If this is the case i will check my suspension on the right side.
