92 LS400 pulles to right when braking
I have recently bought this car and im trying to get a few things fixed on it. Im not sure where to go next. When I hit the brakes at any speed above 40 the car sways to the right. Its not really a pull but the car noticeably sways and dives to the right, then when you let off the brakes you can feel the car sway back to normal. So far I have replaced the front calipers, struts, master cylinder and uca's. Im thinking of doing the strut rod bushings but im not sure if this problem points to that.
Where should I go next?

When a vehicle pulls while braking the brakes are usually the cause. Were the calipers new? Did you do the work yourself? What shape were the rotors and pads in?

When I did the calipers I replaced them with a used set that I took apart and rebuilt. The previous owners had the brakes done before they sold it but it looks like whoever did them did not turn the rotors cause they are pretty rough.
After a little reading I have noticed I didnt touch the slider pins on the front brakes so ill start there first and inspect the pads and rotors a little better.

Ya I bled them. When I got the car the brake pedal was non existant unless you pumped them. So when I did the calipers I also did the master cylinder. The pedal got much better but still pulled. I guess I'll bleed them again.

They feel tight when moving the wheel. I need to jack the front end up tomorrow and see if anything feelss loose or if anything is hanging up. Also going to check the pads and look for a difference in wear between the two sides.
