As the title implies, I'm having problems with my 68 pulling to the left under braking. The first time I noticed this problem my first instinct was to adjust the front passenger brake. The drum on that side had too much space between the shoes and the drum so I adjusted it and the problem seemed to be fixed, but after about a week or two of driving the car started pulling again. I went back and found that there was too much space between the shoe and drum passenger side brake again, so I adjusted it once again only to have the same result.
The car has manual drum brakes on all four corners. The cylinders, shoes, and drums were replace about four years ago and I put on a new master cylinder two years ago. The upper and lower control arms, spindle connecting rods, and the passenger side strut were replaced three years ago. I was thinking the fact that I only replaced the right strut might have something to do with it, but the car actually tends to pull a little to the right when cruising. In addition, after adjusting the passenger side drum I find that when the car does start pulling again it's a gradual thing that gets worse and worse as I drive the car more, eventually to the point where I'm fighting with the steering wheel to keep the car straight. Oh yeah, the car has manual steering too.
I also know that the car would naturally tend to pull to the left due to the difference in brake line differences, but it definitely pulls a little too much. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
