Default Break Pull???

Ok problem was whenever you get on the brakes hard they pull extremely bad. So we purchased and installed new Stainless Steel brake lines ( yes all 4 were replace. Installed new slotted and cross drilled rotors, new aftermarkey pads. Guess what the problem is still there WHY?

Do you mean it's pulling the car slightly to one direction when you are trying to brake in a straight line?

probably a ceased slider or caliper. I would have replaced the calipers and hardware first before the lines/pads/rotors....

How hard was it to push the piston back into the calipers?

Took the sliders out and cleaned lubricated all good there. As for the calipers the pistons went in with almost no pressure at all. Probably the easiest that I have ever seen. Would the rear ABS speed sensor have anything to do with it?

Check your front lower control arm bushings, particularly the caster bushing.
