    Default Need Advice

    My brother -in-law's 92? B&T is pulling hard to the right when the car is cold, then everything seems to get better as temp get warmer.

    Anyone have some ideas of things to tell him to check?

    If that doesn't solve it, check rear tire pressure...probably the right side.

    Or do that first since it is quicker.
