So my rally car is pulling to the right under braking, also rather interesting when you release the brakes the steering wheel moves. (like it moves left then back to right) upon brake release. movement is pretty small 5 degrees of a 360, but very pronounced

I do have a failing or missing A-arm bushing on the passenger front... my rally crew noticed the passenger wheel physically moves (rearward?) under braking even at low speeds ... So that might be the entire issue ... just seems to have gotten really bad (course i don't know what is left of that bushing after Gorman) and that side wheel bearing is going out .... (have replacement knuckle with a good bearing, and replacement A-arm with ... good for pick n pull bushings)

but i think something else is going on. anyone want to tell me what i should be looking for?

I'm sorta thinking "sticking caliper" but i dunno ...
