Yes, worn tie rod ends will make an alignment impossible and if the alignment was done with that sides tie-rod end compressed(clearance taken out) it will pull to that side while driving.

It can cause that to happen, yes. It's not so much the tie rods themselves doing the pulling, but if they're loose, they can allow it to happen.

When the brakes are worn on only one side of the car the car might do what?

Assuming I understand your question: The brakes are worn on one side because they are only or primarily working on that side. This should cause the car to pull toward that side when braking.

Why would your vehicle pull to one side when braking even though it stops ok?

It might have a caliper sticking, or worn brake pads. This can also be caused by bad ball joints. If that doesn't help, you may need an alignment. Check to see if it pulls when driving also. It won't pull as hard as when you stop, but if it does the alignment is off. Low tire pressure on the suspect side can cause the car to pull under braking. Possible contamination.

Why doesn't my chainsaw cut straight?

There could be a couple of reasons why a chainsaw may "pull," or, not cut straight:Cutters are sharped to uneven legnths or angles. If the angles (pitch) of, say, the left-side cutters are a different angle or size of the right-side cutters, the chain may want to pull itself over to one side resulting in an uneven cut. Likewise, longer right-side cutter plates would cause the cut to pull this way instead of staying straight (the pull will move in the direction of the bigger cut). Teeth can be filed or ground to be more even - a well-worn chain may simply need to be replaced.Bar rails are unevenly worn. If one of the bar rails is worn out more than the other, the chain would not sit flat, wanting to pull toward the worn side. To fix this grind your bar rails even or flip your bar over and use the other side.Bar rail groove itself is worn out. If there is a lot of side to side play while your chain sits on the bar good chance your groove is worn out. Grab the chain and try to move it side to side. There should not be a whole lot of play. If there is, take the bar into a saw shop and have the grind and hammer the bar. This will bring the groove back to the size it should be. Or, purchase a new guide bar.

Why does my1995 Cadillac Fleetwod drift from side to side?

most likely cause is worn front end parts. I.E. tie rod ends ,balljoints and wheel bearings. Any competent mechanic can tell you with a basic check. This condition could be dangerous if you were to need to make a quick reaction. The vehicle may not respond as you might like it to. Hope this helps.-Backyard mechanic
