Getting the Wheeling Fever
Every time I go to brake my 95 4runner pulls HARD to right. The alignment is good and goes straight at a constant speed. It has a slight pull to the left under accelleration too. Steering feel is just bad in general. Im thinking there are some shot bushings. Is this possible? which bushings would be shot

Well, for the braking.. there could be a couple factors. Your caliper can be sticking on the left side. Also, check to make sure your rotor hasn't separated from the hub on the left side... it can happen, 'cause I've done it!

Brake fluid on the pads will make it pull hard to one side also. Check for a leaking wheel cylinder.

Have you pulled the hub and looked at the pads?

yeay, inspect the rotors for contamination first, throw some brake cleaner on them and then...

I 2nd what Nick said...

I had a bad caliper on mine that did the same thing.
this is why it's good to flush your brake fluid periodically -- those parts can get corroded and stop moving freely even though they might still look good.
