Limiting front suspension travel (EXT) can cause problems with Caltrac cars. Calvert asks for a minimum of 5" I believe, which may necessitate the cutting down of bump stops. Basically we're asking the suspension to move in a range they were never designed for

looks like the upper bump stops are gone, or have been cut down My upper bump stops are cut down to almost down to the numb for more travel. Mine are as well. I actually have some low profile poly ones in there but they just barely touch the arm at full droop, I should probably just take them out and save the lbs.

Make sure you have no worm out, bent or broken pieces up front, I doubt you will find anything but check for sure. But looks like typical bumpsteer to me. Lots of ways to fix it..
Did a quick search and this is a decent explanation of what it is and does. It can easily be measured on your car and then can be addressed a few ways, may not be able to TOTALLY get it out but can be made better.
