Sup guys just curious, when im driving and i have notice this a few times... when i go to break the car feels like it pulls slightly to the left. and when i stop the break i feel the steering wheel shake, is this normal on a 88GT 5.0?

sounds like a caliper sticking! i'd be willing to be that sticking caliper overheated your rotor...causing it to vibrate when you are braking...you can either grease the slide pins, or replace the calipers...also..turn the front rotors to get rid of the vibration

damn i thought I had the worse grammer, when BRAKING ? Sounds your rotors are warped. Might need new pads too, does the wheel only shake when braking cause if not you might need an alignment

an alignment issue will NEVER cause a vibration...only a pulling issue....

i had warped rotors on my daily driver and had those samekinds of syptoms

the sterring wheel in my van shook until i got an alignment

they prolly charged you for an alignment and balanced your front wheels...

X-2andit also makes the steering wheelstraight to the car.Sounds as if you have a sticky caliperhose, warpped rotors, loose wheel bearings possibly, and pads worn.Whit the wheels off pump up the pedal andthen open the bleeder screw on one side if the fluid squits out thats the hose thats restricted.The fluid should dribble out scence theres on pedal pressure whenyou opened the bleeder screws.The restricting of the hose will make the fluid squirt because it has built up pressure from pumping the brakes,the fluid can not return to themaster cylinderdue to the resricted flex hose, Causeing your car to pull when braking.

Thanks Matt

More then likely its just a caliper or the brake hose. Normally you replace them in pairs as well. If a caliper is locked or a hose is holding pressure or not allowing pressure one side of the carsbrakes will be much more worn then the other side.
