Any ideas?

When im coming to a stop if i tap my brakes it jerks my steering to the left.
Also when heavy braking my wheel gets alot of vibrations.

First thing I would be checking is that the brake calliper sliders are free and greased. I had a very similar issue which turned out to be caused by this.

Also whilst there check general brake condition and that the caliper pistons are all free, check for signs of play in bottom ball joints, wheel bearings, track rod ends.

If something isn't highlighted whilst checking I'd start getting a dti gauge out and check for disc run out / warped discs and bearing run out.

Yeah worth a shot if you have been changing track rods, even if you've counted threads and measured track rods you should still get it checked.

Free checking normally then around 25 to get it adjusted

Unbolt calipers from carriers and check all 4 sliders and slider gaitors (small rubber boots, pretty self explanatory) are not split as this can create the problem as it leaves sliders open to the elements.

If any are seized get a spanner, think its 15mm and try and work them left to right with a squirt of wd40 or even use a set of mile grips.

Once there free get some multi purpose grease or bearing grease and coat sliders in this and refit with gaitors.
