    This past weekend, I towed my '75 CJ5 behind my motorhome for the first time, about 1,000 miles. It has always tracked and braked straight as a board, but now it is now pulling to the left when I step on the brake.

    Any suggestions as towhat may have happened while towing?

    Is there a chance that the shoes could be wet? This would be one reason that could cause it to pull. I would think that it is probably the front brakes that are causing this and not the rear.

    If they're "wet", it's brake fluid or grease.

    I plan to pull the drums and investigate as soon as I get a chance, just wondered it anyone knew of something obvious that could be caused by towing.

    You didn't accidently leave the parking brake set on the jeep when you towed it, did you? Not that I have ever done that. :cry:
