Pulling to the right.
Brake lines can collapse on the inside causing all sorts of problems. Your calipers might be sticking. You should bleed the brake fluid and get new brake hoses if this hasn't already been done. Spin the each wheel when the car is jacked up, and feel for friction. If so, take out the brake pads, or whatever method to get the caliper out of the picture to see if it is the brakes causing such. Don't drive without pads/brakes, just put the wheel back on and turn it by hand.

Be sure to check German Filter Section
In another section, "German Filters", Mann [W719/5] is rated at having the highest surface area and Fram Extra Guard [PH2870A] as having the lowest.
Sorry for the confusion series of posts - I should be in bed!<ul><li><a href="http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfilterstudy/oilfilterstudy-german.html#w719">http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfilterstudy/oilfilterstudy-german.html#w719</a></li></ul>

just joking.. the strut mounts were moving/looked tilted bec/ the car was lifted and tires hanging..
Are the strut mounts not supposed to move at all when looking at the top of them.. or justnot move when I bounce the car up and down when it's resting on the tires?
Right now when the tires are hanging I can move the mounts about 1 or 2 inches... should I try to tighten them?

There's this called money..... I don't have enough to replace them all if I don't have to
And my back struts are totally shot... so I have to replace them first..
At least I'm assuming that if the back just waves around when I bounce/push on it that they're gone right?
On that note... anyone have some for sale? What's a good deal? or what company has good struts? no need to lower the car or anything, but I do need to replace them.

no no, y ou didn't quite understand what I meant...
it slightly pulls to the righ twhile normal driving... yes that may be the calipers.
but when I brake pretty hard... going over about 40 mph, the CAR slides to the right, but it doesn't pull.... I've had a friend watch out the window, and he says he can see the car shift in comparison to the rear tires.
