 what causes the front brakes to pull to the right ,it has drum on the front ,the shoes are good

Could be a couple things.......

1- Left front wheel cylinder could be seized and not moving making only your right front brake work causing the pull.

2- Your brake linings on the right front could have gotten some grease or brake fluid on them contaminating them which would make them grab faster than good clean brakes.

3- left front brakes could not be adjusted properly causing the the right front brake to have more "braking power" than the left front.

Hope this helps. :2thumbs:
