THIS TRUCK HAS RECENTLY HAD NEW BEARINGS, ROTORS, PADS AND CALIPERS. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THIS DRIFTING PROBLEM WHEN BRAKING. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD THE LEFT BRAKE SEEM TO BE HANGING UP. ALSO, I HAVE NOTCED THAT THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE USUAL BRAKE CHATTER RESPONCE THAT ACCOMPANYS THE ABS SYSTEM KICKING-IN WHEN BRAKING HARD ESPECIALLY ON WET PAVEMENT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I would suspect caliper hoses or at least the left side
also bleed the system all around rear and front
check rear brakes clean and adjust if needed
good luck
let me know
