pulls to side when braking

[powdaskier]

My 94 explorer pulls to the right when i brake. after i release the brake, then the car lists to the left. this isnt a constant thing, it randomly does it for a good ten minutes then the car goes back to normal. any ideas?

Sticking caliper?

When was the last time anything in the front end was serviced?

Ive had the same in my 97 truck . I just had it all apart found that the back shoes on the passenger side were not self adjusting after using the e brake or just plain didnt adjust correctly for wear. This causeing one side to pull and the other later causing it to drift side ways at braking. I replaced the tab that sits on the star adjuster along with taking it apart and lubing with brake silicone. It stops straight now .

My kids do this trick on the grocery cart .Hop on and push and then stick their foot on one of the back wheels to stop and the cart takes a quick turn . Same thing .

tire pressure could be an issue as well, I had a tire with a slow leak and when it got low enough it would pull to one side while i drove or while i was braking!
