Well, if you think about what ABS does, it reduces the fluid pressure to any wheel which appears to be turning slower than the other wheel, it is entirely possible that the pulling you are experiencing is somewhat "normal". Perhaps one of your front wheels is approaching lock up before the other. The modulating brake pressure from the ABS would reduce the braking force on that wheel and you would then get pulling in the direction of the non-locking wheel. The reasons could be the same as what I mentioned before for unequal brake foirce between wheels on the same axle. Could also be a difference in tire condition or pressure. -Fred W
