Pulling to one side.

I am looking at buying a 88 Rs 305 auto convertable.
The current owner said the car pulls slightly to one side when braking. He believes it to be a calpier prob.
Is this easily fixed or could there be other problems?
Thanks in advance.

there is a good chance that is the problem, but its a thirdgen, dont expect it to be the only problem the car has or will have.

If that's the worst problem the car has, buy it. Especially if you can get him to feel guilty about selling such a dangerous car and knock a couple large off the price.

Re: Pulling to one side.

I haven't seen the car in person yet only pics...I know it won't be perfect but I at least want to be able to drive it while I fix it up.
He said he wants $8900CDN but I still feel it is high.
I saw another 88 vert Don;t know if it was a RS or not because on the skirting it just said camaro.but it was the original owner since new and it only has 53000KMS. He wants $23000 for it

Very possibly the brake hose is collapsing internally.

Re: Pulling to one side.

Yup, I think JamesC is right. Thats what was wrong when my Z28 starting pulling to the right. Make sure you get the right hose because there are left and right hose's.
