Long time Lurker First time poster,
My 2008 S has an issue where randomly without warning, when depressing the brake pedal unrelated to brake pressure I will get a small amount of steering wheel shake, however the truck will dive to one side or the other. No pulsing in the pedal that I can feel and front suspension is relatively new replaced with OEM parts.
Changes from OEM on suspension include a 1.5" strut spacer, Dobinson's leafsprings, Bilstein shocks, & 285/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Where to start?
Anyone Experienced before?
Things to Check?

If it only happens under braking, I would start by inspecting brake pads, rotors, and calipers. While in there, I would nut and bolt check the newly installed parts as well.

I planned on a full brake system refresh, new fluid, pads, rotors, calipers, and hoses, however wanted to do it in one shot so it will be a little bit, wasn't sure if there was anybody who had the same experience

Remember when bleeding the brakes follow the bleeding sequence.

I had bought a used Maxima and when you touch the brake the wheel would turn 90° but still drive straight. Hit the gas and the wheel would turn back straight.

An oil leak was right on the passenger lower a-arm bushing so there was no rubber there. Replaced the a-arm and then drove normal. Just some info to check the bushings while your down there.
