sticking caliper slider? weak side has caliper problem of some sort, various causes. maybe start by servicing brakes and see what you find :y

Sliders would be the first port of call.....check they are nicely free....

it could be the tracking as well. does the car pull to the side if you let go of the steering wheel?

yes but when i brake it is worst and the filling is just like the front left side is going down before right side.

tracking is done, and it's ok on the paper but car still pulls

like the guys say - check the easy things first like are the calipers free? but it could still be a suspension issue, if the wishbones are worn it can still pull to one side under load ie braking even if the tracking is spot on while static :y

mine always used to pull to the left untill i cahnged the wishbones ;)

I reckon it's wishbones! Mine used to dive to the left under braking until i changed them!

Now I just need to get to wim for a geometry setup and i'll be happy!

if i put steering wheel in center car goes heavy to the left and on geometry all was fine, tracking done with steering wheel in center. they cant put it in center, computer shows them that everything is ok but it isn't.
