Vehicle Pulls Slightly to One Side When Brakes are Applied at Low Speeds

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of the vehicle pulling slightly to one side when the brakes are applied at low speeds that may also be accompanied by small movement of the steering wheel (2-3 cm on circumference), the cause may be related to a lower ball-joint which has excessive friction. To resolve, replace the lower ball-joint on the side to which the vehicle pulls slightly when braking. Replaced part should be returned to the Quality Evaluation Center for investigation.
