The vehicle listed above is a GT hatchback. I got CV axles changed, brakes, wheel bearings, (all on front) tire rotation and alignment. After the bearings and alignment now it pulls to both sides or right when driving and left when braking ABS and TCS lights came on went off came on and went back off. how can I stop the jerking?

Hi,

How abrupt is the jerking? Also, if you lift one front wheel off the ground at a time, can you spin both? Is there any play in the tie rods or ball joints?

Check for any loose components first. Also, confirm both wheels turn easily. This could be a brake-related issue, so that is why I'm suggesting that you check if one wheel is difficult to turn.

Let me know.
