locking right front bad at AX, could it be shocks unevenly worn? Options

[mskala]

Subject tries to say it all. Before I get the new tires on, I wanted
to understand why everybody tells me I'm smokin' the right front
tire bad under heavy braking.

I corner weighted the thing with my equiv weight, and of course
that's the lightest part of the car, but it shouldn't be that bad.
Calipers are only a few years ago rebuilt and I don't notice any
different pad wear left to right.

The front shocks are original. Could they be acting different from
each other? I have 21mm torsion bars so the car is stiff, I
wouldn't be able to tell from bouncing the car.

Thanks all,

I get to watch my co-driver during his passes. He locks the right front often. I seldom lock em' up......which may be why he's a tad quicker....but that's another problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

Another buddy( a fast one) with a 9eleben does the same thing.

As long as the car isn't pulling to the right side during
more normal (non locking) braking, I don't see a problem.
One wheel is gonna lock first as you're searching for the threshold.

If you take your hands off the wheel and hit the brakes, the car should stop straight. If not, there's a problem.
I do this test after I do any brake work.

AX brings out the worst in any car.
