My car feels uneasy under heavy braking and swerves to right.

Any ideas?

Tighten your leaf spring U-Bolts, that helped on my friends REPU

Leaf springs? Not on any RX-7 I know about....

What did you already rule out?

he didnt say what kinda car. so i didn't generalize
I'm a firm believer in ask a stupid question get a stupid answer.
Henceforth be more informative with your questions. Bling bling

check your rear bushings, try to move the wheel around with your hands. Loose suspension will do that

First thing to check is tire pressure, one may be low. Second thing to check is if a brake is sticky. Third thing to check is if the alignment is off.

Drivers side rear brake has a stripped out bolt on the caliper so is not tight. I'm replacing this and hope this is the problem. Would this make it swerve right or left?

Car is a '93 RX7

Tire pressure is good, allignment is good. Suspension mounts in front not in the best shape, left hand side has a broken off bolt.

That's all I could see, if that wasn't enough !.. anyway, does that shed any more light on things.

That sounds supremely dangerous.

Replaced front strut mounts with HKS pillow *****, replaced rear brake caliper (Thanks Fritz !), and noticed struts were not in great shape so put some Koni's all around... Car is perfect !.. rides great, doesn't pull on braking.

Thanks for all the advice.
