Steering / alignment shift during braking

[elpiar]

Whenever I brake, the steering turns to the right till almost about 1 o'clock position. But my car is going straight.

Should I suspect a worn bushing? which part of the suspension arms should I look at?

have you checked your brakes? It sounds like one caliper is engaging and the other isn't...

i did rebuild them. and i don't feel any brake pull, if any, very little.

anyone?

might just be the rack bushings, they are a PITA and you'll likely want an alighment afterwords, it's amazing how hard it is to manually detect the freeplay but once you get the old bushings out it will be obvious

This was happening in my G20 - Bad tensio rod bushings were to blame.

Go through the front suspension and look at all rubber components, something's obviously gone bad in there.

Last weekend i went through my front suspensions, everything seems tight, no signs of offset bushing or torn ball joint rubber boots.

But i mean, to be honest, I'm not sure I am strong enough or my eyes accurate enough to see this. During braking, the force and bending moments exerted on these suspension are in the range of hundreds of pounds. How can I simulate this? BTW I have a dial indicator with magnetic base, but it's so hard to mount it in the middle of the control arms correctly. Any hint?

When I go to the suspension shops and have them inspect it, they say there is nothing loose.

I have not inspected the rack bushings, where can I start doing this?Also, how do I check the preload on the steering. This possibly can happen since my downpipe is pretty close to the shaft. I'm worried it rattled it loose when contact happens.
