I have a problem with my car. When braking, the steering wheel shakes, pulls to the left and wags the car. I have checked everything possible and still the same thing. I replaced the discs with ATE, pads, put on other wheels, replaced the bearings with hubs, checked the shaft support and flexible links, the suspension checked at three diagnostic stations. Please help, because the services spread their hands.
