Ouch :mecry:...a...ya it could be a "toe" adjustment in you alignment.

 

I don't know about your rig but after I put on my bilsteins I had mine realigned 2000 miles on it and it drove alot better less hunting on the highway.SEK ROCKS hotsteel41:rocker:

 

Generally when braking if there is a pull, then that side brake is gripping harder then the other....

 

It's not always the same side.

 

Try adjusting your tire pressure. Give it a bit more air and try again. Sounds like tramlining.

 

IMO it is not an alignment issue since you checked this by driving straight on pavement and continues to drives straight when you take your hands off the wheel.

Because youve noticed this only on off-road terrains, this could be because the terrain is uneven compared to flat paved roads resulting in different braking sensation that youve noticed as "'pulls" from each of the tire.

If this keep happening on the same side of the vehicle, it could be uneven brake wear. this is often observed as shaking when you apply brakes or similar side "pulls".

Another culprit could be as easy as what Fjamming mentioned (tire pressure).

 

It can be, I have a lifetime alignment package that I would advise everyone to get the same. You may pay the same price as three allignments in some cases, but it is worth it. You could Ideally take it in after every off highway session. I have had the same thing many times, hit the brakes, hit a divot in the road, then wicked pull. The allignment's help but if you are lifted you will always have it to some degree. It's called "Bump Steer". I cant go into the specific details of it but it's from the geometry of the lift. Straight axles get it worse but we do feel it. Take your sway bar off for a week and then re install it, you will really get to know the term.

 

I'd guess the road is crowned and you are on one side or the other of the crown, pulling it in that direction...

 

When I got bigger tires mine started doing the same thing .

I went back to les schwab they told me that it is normal for bigger
tires to wounder a bit when braking?

 

When you're braking you're actually transferring some of the weight to the front, and the force of the front dropping increases pressure on the front tires and suspension. This results in the front tires having more traction and the front suspension being compressed. Because of this, on uneven surfaces, or roads with grooves or ruts in them (even small ones), your vehicle will tend to track in the direction gravity pulls it or it might track along a groove or rut. If braking on a flat, smooth road does not cause any pulling then I'd say you have no alignment or brake issues. From your description this seems normal behavior.

 

There is a possibiltiy that it is the tires tracking in the road, but it could be other things as well. If you say that it varies side to side here are some othere things to check.

LCA cam bushings, see if they are loose.

Inner or outter tie rod ends.

Sticking calipers.

Lastly you can check alignment if you lifted your vehicle and never aligned it.

Hope that helps a bit!
