Whenever i brake, doesnt even have to be hard, my wheel just turns to the right and the car starts to veere that way. it can turn almost 90 degrees at times! im pretty sure that this isnt normal, so does anyone know what it could be???:confused: thanks
 
You may have a caliper locked up. Typically if it pulls to the right then that means that side is being slowed more than the left. So your left caliper could be stuck in the unapplied position. Your right caliper may be bad too if it's not sliding properly in the caliper bracket. Or the caliper piston may be sticking in the caliper itself. I recomend pulling down both sides and seeing if you can compress either caliper. If you find that one of them is sticking you will need to either rebuild it or replace it. I recomend rebuilding/replacing them in pairs. May also be time to upgrade to GSX calipers up front too.
