Check your suspension, suspension bushings, alignment, and tie rods. This is something you’ll want a shop to look at. Many tire shops can do these types of inspections.

How is the wear on the replacement brake pads? Does the wear pattern match from left to right? If one side is wearing more than the other, it could be a bad brake hose or master cylinder.

Do you notice that it is easier to steer one direction than the other? If you can’t find anything with the brakes, I might check the tie rods and suspension bushings next. Perhaps the wheel bearings as well.

A lot of things could cause that. The alignment could be off, one caliper could be sticking, you could have a bad tie rod, or your suspension bushings could be worn out.

That guess sounds like a good one to me.

I’ve replaced front pads, rotors, calipers, hoses and master cylinder and it still does it. I can steer my tractor using its independent rear brakes and am wondering whether I have a poorly adjusted rear drum causing a similar effect.

Does the car swerve under braking or when cruising normally?

No abs comes on. With the abs module connected, the brake squeaks when pressing and de-pressing stationary. At high speed, the car swerves. With the abs module disconnected, no sound when braking (park position) but car swerves at high speed. I happened before, I replaced the module. It worked fine for a few months then this happens again. Replaced with used part. What could be the cause?
