Default Ok, What would would cause...

a car to pull to the left when i brake at highish speed, then when i let go, it goes back to normal. It feels like a bush or a mount has gone, but i`ve replaced the top engine mount and anti roll bar links but to no avail...

Any ideas please people ???

Could be one of several things mate,

Tyre pressures
wheel bearing
sticking brake caliper (n/s)
O/S caliper not working
tracking

Its weird, its more like a little tug to the left when i put my foot on the brake, but when i let my foot off, you feel it tug back to the right. It feels like a bush has gone somewhere and there is play in it...

If that makes any sence
