Ok so i have an 89' Camaro RS V6 and the car pulls slightly to the right while driving but when the brakes are applied it shifts very sharply to the right, almost violently. What could cause this?, i thought maybe unevenly worn brake pads, but they look brand new on both sides of the front.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A brake hose is acting as a check valve. Replace both sides.

It sounds like a flex hose most likely your left side is expanding. Or could be the wheel bearing, but you would hear the problem if it was that.

Replace both front rubber brake hoses and the get a frontend alignment.

Did the car just start doing it?
-or-
Did you just buy the car recently and it was like that already?
-or you have owned it a long time and notice this getting progressively worse over time?

Some more knowledge would be helpful


I would not jump into replacing anything yet, you might be wating your money. I would first suspect alignment, yet if the car sat a long time, one front caliper could be frozen, could be a brake line, but I would think that less unlikely though it does happen. More info on the 3 questions above would first help a diagnosis better than a guess.

Of everything, an Alignment is cheapest and easiest to rule out, I personally would start here. When is the last time it was checked and how old are the tires (maybe low on pressure, maybe a combination of things from it possibly sitting long? Does it have aftermarket wheels and tires or stock factory sizes?
