Okay so this car drives and rides beautifully but it has started to show its age with 20 years and 73k miles. Just today it started pulling to the right under any sort of brake application, the steering wheel also turns the same direction making me have to correct it. It's also accompanied by a very noticeable bump and thunk from the driver front area of the car which I suspect to be a bad caliper. It will thunk as soon as you apply the brake and do it again when I release it from a stop, almost like being hit.
I can work with hand tools but diagnosis is not my strong suit which is why I'm posting here. Obviously I'll be looking at the caliper slide pins, brake pads and the idler arm. It just sounds to me like something is loose or very worn. I'll be getting it up in the air tomorrow
