i think i have noticed that as well. it seems to be a normal thing.

but, if you do have a concern you should take it in to the dealership so they can have a look at it.

Agreed. Braking should not make the car pull to one side!

its normal i had the same issue on my 98 eclipse it may because of the road, but no big worry unless you start seeing irregular wear on your brakes and rotors

it's happened on almost every small car i've driven: civics integras tc , even accord

but for some reason i have yet to experience that on bigger car's like the toyota rav4 and 4runner

if you're on a smooth road.. meaning, no ruts in the road.. and you hit the brakes, it pulls to one side, it could be a caliper on the brakes that is creating too much force, or the other too little.. hence the pull to a certain direction..

on the other hand.. if you have ruts in the road and hit the brakes.. it will find the "crown" of that rut and pull you in that direction.. this i've had.. it's like.. welcome to low profile tires..

the reason you feel it on big trucks becaue the tires are wider o they dont fall into the road grooves left behind by bigger trucks, normal feeling unless you see wear or it happens on smooth road like he said
