Who else has this problem?

Whenever I have to brake, my car pulls rather violently, especially on uneven or bumpy roads. I plan on using all SPOHN products on my car this spring to fix this problem, but I wanted to know if anyone else has had this similiar problem...

i believe you have a problem with your brakes not in the suspension, or any of it's parts. look for a caliper not working when you apply preasure to it.

Don't know if you've worked it out or not, but replace both front flex hoses.

Usually if you are driving down the road and you apply the brakes, if the car pulls to one side or the other it is probably in the brakes. If it pulls because the wheels are hopping around and not maitaining contact with the road then I would look at suspension parts. Mine would pull to the left under braking, when I let off the pedal it would come back to the right. The right front caliper piston boot was torn and the piston was sticking which would cause the right front caliper to not apply. Replaced the caliper, problem gone
