probably a dumb answer, but i take it you have equalised the front tyre pressures?
mine was ultra sensitive to uneven pressures, especially on the 33's. would only take 5 or 6 psi differenceto make it pull quite badly under brakes.

Check the torsion bar on top of the front diff. If it has come away or is loose, then you get wicked brake steer.

I'll agree with that, before I went to crossover steer that bar on the to of my diff broke free twice, once it snapped the housing point on top of the diff, the 2nd time it ripped clean out of the chassis....and yes without that bar in place (between top of diff and back to chassis) it will pull wickedly under braking.

ok cheers guys ill have a check and let you no. i did a bit of checking the left front works jus not as well as the right.
is there a way you can adjust the front brakes other than bleed them?
