Default Rear braking problem...

So, funniest thing when I'm braking in my 93 LS 400...

When braking, the rear end shifts to the right (somewhat violently), almost seems as though one caliper in the rear is working.

However, I took a look at the brakes today and everything seems to be on right, the pads are still good, rotors look good, lines look good, etc.

Anyone experience this before? I'm stumped!

Just an idea the guy i work with his work truck an older Tundra like a 02 did this. he tried turning the rotors replacing the pads, machining the rotors turned out to be a bad gasket was leaking diff fluid onto the rotors somehow.

My 92 used to do this when I first got it (Mine used to jerk hard to the left). Turns out that I had REALLY BAD bushings in the rear end. Check the ones in the Carrier Arm, as these were my culprit. Changed them,, no more rear end dance.
