If it was a drive train issue i'd expect it to do it all the time.

As it's when you brake i'd guess a caliper is binding on.

Yep I'd go for a brake rebuild.
I thought it was a good one, but i was thinking it was just trying to destroy itself to make Tom pay out :lol:

even low tyre pressure can cause a pull when braking but it does sound more like said caliper issue.....

tom mate, look at it this way. The more oil leaking out and onto the body work, the less welding you'll have to do...... well, maybe.

its a glass half full situation bud :lol: :thumbup:
