Default Slight body roll or pull to one side?

Does anyone notice a slight body roll or pull to one side or the other during hard braking (not enough to lock the tires up)? Is this due to having a front differential instead of IFS?

It's not really surprising to have a little amount of drift upon hard braking in a wrangler.While the brakes are not bad, they admittedly are not world class sports car balanced. The more suspension travel in a vehicle, the more the vehicle balance can shift upon hard braking. This gives you the ''feel'' of roll or pull. Check your tire pressure carefully, check ever so often for brake system leaks or seepage, vehicle alignment can also affect brake ''pull'' but the pull is usually present all the time. A sticking brake caliper can cause a pull but again this is something that is present all the time and goes from minor to severe pull or lockup very quickly. If your alignment seems okay and your tires are inflated properly then it is probably a non issue and is something that probably cannot be improved upon...good luck!
