I've looked at various forums and none are the same symptoms so hoping to get some help here.
I have a UK 2004 2.4 D5 AWD XC90
When I got it a couple of weeks ago it has a pull to the right when braking.
Weird thing for me is when stationary and when driving the steering wheel is never centre it is turned more to the 03:50 position, that is until I press the brake then it pulls more to the right..like a twitch if you know my meaning, but the harder I press the steering wheel straightens itself then I release the brake, it twiches back to the left and the steering wheel is off centre again and is always like that until I brake hard then after the slight twitch its straight.
At first I thought it was a caliper binding but they all seem to roll free when I check.
The other thing is I have the anti skid service required light ...Does a failure of that create this symptom or do you think it's more of a control arm failure?
I don't have any steering wandering or bad handling round bends from what I've experienced.
Any help most appreciated.

You have bought someone else's problems , I would take it back ! Someone has fitted a non volvo lower front wishbone on one side only ! they are cheap and nasty and do not react the same as a volvo one and affect the steering . It would be best to get it looked at and preferably fit 2 VOLVO front wishbones so they both work and their bushes compress the same amount as intended .
The ABS light is something else , probably a split or rusted toothed ring on the outer end of a driveshaft .
