You need to have the front end checked. Based on it age it probably has some bad parts. Do they have repair shops in Japan that work on American cars and trucks?

none that i totally trust. i can do the labor just havn't had the time to get under the hood. its kind of scary going down hill and braking at the same time
the burb wants to veir off but have to counter. i ask the dealer and he said that american cars tend to have that kind of play, which in i know they don't maybe a little or just a tad but not like this.
