Hit the brakes on the freeway today and the car just shot to the left. The only thing that I can think of is that I had new rear tires put on and they might have been ballanced incorrectly?

 

No. balance = only affects the "bouncy" feeling.

I had this happen, most likely you were waiting for the tires for a bit? bleed all four brakes. report back!

For me, my front brake had some air in it after sitting for a while.

 

You might have a seized caliper or bad flex line.

 

Mine does the same thing but my brakes are about shot; very little left on pads, rotors need turned, needs bleed. I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.

 

Check your tire pressure..

occam's razor

seriously, 90% of the time that's what causes this in our cars.

 

it's because you sit on the left side, duh.



bleed your brakes. that'll help... or you may have hit a patch of road where it was grippier on one side.

 

^^^This.

 

IF its under braking like the OP is saying, it is most certainly alignment or brakes.

tire PSI will only (should only) affect throttle on/off..?

 

lol my car was veering a little bit, and I checked my tires, low and behold I was 10 psi low in my FL tire! Thanks!
