My pony is pulling left, not uncontrollably but it is definitely there. It is worse when reversing. I pulled both front drums and there is nothing obviously wrong. Do you think I should go ahead and have the drums turned anyway? They are not obviously scored our out of round and the shoes (riveted) still have a ton of meat on them and look good also. No fluid leaking. No real obvious trouble at all.

could be a problem with one of the wheel cylinders, check out the opposite side that pulls when you hit the brakes

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

a proper bleed and adjusting the drums is a start. then check the front steering , idler arm is always a problem for that if not the first couple things.

I had the same problem. Replaced the shoes, springs and wheel cylinders and it stopped evenly.
