    Drum Brake Question

    What would cause a car with drum brakes (sorry guys this question pertains to a 61' Olds) to veer to the left when applying the brake with my hands off the steering wheel?

          Easy answer

          Your RIGHT front wheel cylinder is stuck. If that's not right, go to the other answers.

            Or, your right front brake hose has collapsed.
