When coming to a fairly hard stop the van wants to pull to left. Also when driving slow (30 and below) the van wants to fade left. I guess a new caliper. Which one or both? May idler arms? Can a rookie do the adler arms? thanks

alot of brake pulls are alignment issues due to worn parts.You can do the idlers yourself, you will need a "pickle fork" to seperate the idlers from the center link. Have the van aligned when done and the brake pull and fade may go away
