Brake Issues



Please diagnose this problem: My car makes a sound like "ggrrrpppffff
gggugu gugpppplumph". 

Just kidding. 

I am having an interesting brake issue. This is in regards to my 87
Milano. Under braking it will dive to the left very quickly (this really
sucks at 80mph) and then straighten back out. Now...my first thought is
warped rotor but there is no pulsing through the steering wheel. This
happened for a few days and now under braking it dives to the right.
Curiouser and curiouser. 

I'm starting to think my brake lines are geeked and needs to be replaced
(at the least) or a caliper rebuild is in order (ugh). Probably all of
the above, one doesn't want to mess around with brakes. 

I guess the odd thing is that it started diving to the left and now the
problem is that it is diving to the right. Darned little gremlins, can't
make up their minds. I guess I have my project for this weekend...
