Re apply the brake immediately and everything is fine, brake again after a Cpl of minutes and it dips and shifts again. brake pedal feels fine.

Put it into my mechanic who changed the brake pads and freed them up as the left carriage was sticking and had worn the pads right down. Made no difference at all, he's now given it all (brakes steering etc0 a thorough check over cant spot anything. Any ideas?

The other thing I'd like to know is if I turn off the DSC can it go on a rolling road/ brake tester safely without wrecking anything?

assuming it is not brake pull certainly suspension wishbone , have you had just one changed recently ? a non genuine one can cause this .

hold the foot brake on and try and drive away in forward and reverse gears get some one to watch each front wheel for excessive movement .
