Brake issue
I've already changed the calipers rotors and new brake pads. I'm experiencing an issue to sometimes when I go to hit the brake it like get caught and then let's me apply the brake all the way its will snag or catch and jerk to left and then start working. Don't know the issue. Maybe brake booster or master cylinder or even bad brake lines. I don't see any leaks. I don't understand why it does this. Again usually first thing when I start to drive and I hit the brake it catches or sticks and Jerks to the left and starts working properly and it only does it once or twice a day.

Starting with the pad on the pedal, inspect the under dash brake linkage. Bushing go bad causing the linkage to bind up or a bad angle into the master.
Check the master mounting with alignment etc in mind and make sure it is solidly mounted on a solid firewall.
You may wish to disconnect either the front or the rear brakes and test drive it. (beware the longer stopping distances). You will determine front or rear problems, although it's also a safe bet that it's the front.
Pull the wheels, check the bearings, check the caliper mounts--in other words, check your recent work and beyond to all brake components. ALL.
