truck pulls HARD when braking.

My 01 F350 Will do a dounut if you slam the brakes on... It will pull the wheels 90 degrees. I took the from wheels off yesterday and the rotors look brand new as well as the pads, any ideas?

The distribution? Maybe you have a faulty caliper on the opposite side. If the disks look good I would check the calipers. If that's not the problem then it would have to be with the distribution of brake fluid. Are the back brakes gripping at all? Does the ABS vibrate when you slam the brakes? From your description it sounds like the brakes are all in one wheel.

the truck shakes really good when I'm stopping a load, which is why i checked on the rotors... But they just look too new. yes the truck shakes really badly, / vibrates, when you are on the brakes hard.
