I recently had my front calipers, rotors, and pads replaced, because my Q would want to pull to the left right before I came to a complete stop. Despite all the brake work, she still wants to pull to the left under soft braking, but stays straight under hard braking. Any suggestions would help. This car is giving me gray hairs.

I've heard of a soft brake hose causing uneven braking, how old are your's?

Tires with internal damage or rear thrust alignment not zero. Camber or caster or toe not perfectly equal side to side. Wheel bearings not equal in resistance.

In rear independent suspensions the rear brakes if not equal can cause the same problem.....rear steering effect.
