steering problems perhaps?

I have a new to me 07 Navi, when I apply the brakes and the vehicle is on a sloped patch of road - it wants to head off in that direction and the steering gets harder. Alignment is correct. I'm wondering if the steering pump is failing and the extra draw by the braking system is affecting the pressure to the steering box. Fluid levels are fine - no leaks anywhere.

Thanks !

I would be looking at the brakes followed by the suspension.

I did that, rotors good, lots of pad left - caliper problem perhaps? No leaks though - shocks appear to be good - but I don't know how to test other than bouncing the car.

Stuck caliper? I would also check ball joints, control arms, and tie rods.

Ball joints, control arms and tie rods all good - had them checked at two different shops just to be sure.
