I plan to pull the wheels tonight to check the rotors and calipers but I thought I'd throw it back to you all...
When stomping on the brakes at speed the car immediately veers left and almost instantly corrects itself. Earlier responses suggested suspension ie bushings or shocks. I didn't think so, and after a weekend of tearing down gravel roads, I'm pretty happy with the shocks. One of the rotors is warped so I was going to start there, but this morning the lightbulb in my head finally came on and I thought to yank the e-brake (not at speed). Ha! the car veered to the left, but no pulsing from a rotor. So, I wonder if anyone has had this experience from what must be a slow/lazy caliper? Think I should bleed it first?
Thanks.
Bryan
