TL Pulls to the Left when Braking....

Mine is a 03, 3.2 TL, done 100K Miles. Strange problem - upon Braking the car steering jerks ( about 2-3 cms) to the left, and when accerlated the steering slightly jerks to the right side....

anyone... any suggestions.. where should I start looking..... I hope its just some bolt that is loose and needs to be tightened !!!!

might be a sticking caliper.

i wish that all of our fixes were as easy as tightening a bolt

ok- make sure the front caliper bolts are all tight!

then proceed to inspect caliper operation and replace if needed
If so, many of us upgrade to Legend calipers for the same price as tl calipers- about 75$ each, rebuilt

Let me check the bolts and revert....meanwhile the brake fluid level in the master cylinder is between the Min and Max level, though closer to the Min mark. havent changed the fluid in the last 3 years.....

A caliper may be seized open.
