Braking and swerving/drifting issue
When I brake from higher speeds I begin swerving to the left. My rotors look pretty old and rusted, so I began wondering if bad or warped rotors can cause the swerving? I've also noticed that at low speeds (30mph or lower) I hear squeaking from what I believe is the rear of the car. Sort if in the pattern as if a squeaky toy was glued to one of my tires. It's not very loud, but it's noticeable. Could this be related?

Could be a collapse brake hose or bad calipers that is causing the pull while braking and the squeak from the rear I'm still trying to figure it out myself

Just installed four brand new drilled and slotted rotors for $40 each with hawk pads in the front. I stop on a freakin' dime.
I'll get shots of them on my car later. I put them on despite having the flu...

Did you grease the hell out of the slider pins - and replace any of the rubber boots/ grease retainers (seals) that were damaged?
