If you have your hand on the wheel, it will barely pull. If you remove your hand and brake, it will pull...

    alignment shims.....

    well.....today I took a closer look...and found some trouble. The reason why the upper contol arm wont budge when i pull on the wheel/spidle assembly, is because it has been wedged in the corner of the shock tower....The up and down motion of the control arm has cut a small slit in the shock...
