Steering Wheel Pulling When Braking Fixed

I solved the problem of my steering wheel pulling very hard to the left (driver's side) when braking. In this video I go through the trouble shooting on my 2005 Chevy Suburban. This issue is not exclusive to this particular SUV. Pulling when braking can happen in any vehicle :Ford, Dodge, Toyota or Lamborgini. I suspect it is exactly the same on Tahoe, Yukons, Serria, and Silverado of the time.

The rule of thumb is if the car pulls to the left, then the problem is on the right side. The reverse is also true if it pulls to the right. And it makes sense. Lets picture the brakes stopping the car on one side and not the other. Then the side where the brakes are not working will pivot around the braked side.

I raised the front end of the vehicle on jack stands and spun the tires by hand. While a helper in the car applied the brakes. Both sides stopped the same. This implies the problem is not the brakes.

I checked the pads and calipers and rotor and the hoses. I changed the pads (wasted money, they were fine. I replaced a hose ( More wasted Money). I was about to start buying unneeded rotors when I noticed some "not tight" bolts in the front end suspencion. I had replaced the ball joints and tyrods a couple years ago. I used all the old fasteners. May be that was a mistake. I did a fitness inspection. There were a couple loose bolts then I noticed a MISSING bolt. It is a 16mm, 2mm bolt 140 mm long. It anchored the lower control arm to the front of the frame.

I bought a new bolt from the Chevrolet dealer. I cost about $20, but worth it. The tip is cone shaped and helped a lot in the installation. It also had a locking nut(sold seperately). I secured the control arm now everything works perfectly. FIXED!
