Unrelated to that but still thread-relevant, my Ranger has developed a gnarly pull when under hard braking - it wants to jump right really hard if you have to stomp the brakes. Under normal driving it has a very light pull to the right since I think it's due for an alignment. Has anyone ever seen an alignment be the sole cause of this, or am I looking at a caliper or drum that's not doing it's job?

Get the wheels off the ground and push/pull at 3:00 and 9:00 before you even bother taking it in for an alignment.....so they don't just end up refusing to do it because you need tire rod ends or something like that. Sounds plausible from your description.

Sounds like time for an Amazon cellphone borescope!

If you do buy one, make sure you check the reviews to see how horrible the associated app is

Plug it into my laptop, open the windows "camera" app. Done.

One of the worst sounds when working on a car: a fastener not hitting the ground.

Or a 10mm socket not hitting the ground.
