Plumsmooth, I highly recommend the Haynes manual for your car.
Thank you, I actually have one but honestly I have found it a hard non-fiction read ha ha...

I've had some trouble finding what I thought I was looking for and the pictures not very good...

But I forget as a general rule, and maybe even a courtesy to those here being willing to put up with my beginner style and endless questions, I should attempt a consult with it first before asking things that I can maybe answer through the text book...

There isn't any auto repair book in the world that can beat MVS. We try to set a tone here txt is welcoming to everyone and especially those who have never turned a wrench.

Actually good idea:

Haynes Manual:
0-24
46: "vehicle pulls to one side during braking
1. Defective Damaged or oil contaminated disk brake pad on one side. Inspect as described in Chapter 9.
2. Excessive wear of brake pad material or disc on one side. Inspect and correct as necessary [chapters 1 and 9.]
3. Loose or disconnected front suspension components. Inspect and tighten all bolts to the specified torque [chapter 10]
4. Defective caliper assembly. Remove the caliper and inspect for a stuck piston or other damage [chapter 9]
