Could it be Cradle mounts?

Post by pontiacssei »

I took my 02 bonneville to a shop because when I brake it pulls to the left really hard. I had the brakes calibers and rotors checked which all seemed to check out fine. He put's the car up on the lift and shows me the cradle mounts (left and right) and how they respond when he gives the car Gas. he Quotes me almost 450 bucks to fix the issue but I don't think it's my issue any clues?

P.s The steering wheel also turns as well when I stop

Sounds like a dragging caliper or a bad hose/clogged hose to the caliper.
