Default Braking Question

Is it normal for your car to pull one way or another if you break really hard? Reason I ask is because if I break really hard my car always wants to pull to the left. I have new inner and outer tie rods and my hub bearings have been replaced so I dont know.

could be a torque issue with your radius rods. if they aren't torqued correctly, could cause some discrepancies......

also you could assume that the distance between each caliper and brake master cylinder are different lenghts.........so one might bite down just a tad quicker creating a slight pull

I guess where you live it's not much of an issue... but here with rain/snow/ice for a good chunk of the year, not having your breaking balanced, means you spin out and crash.

Just something to consider, I'd get it fixed.

You can start by checking your break pads (micrometer recommended), make sure they are worn evenly on both sides... that can rule out break related issues... after that it's into the suspension setup.
