Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.
Discussions that suspect a cause

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
otherwise, probably a cracked bushing or worn tie rod end.
Leading evidence: 'cracked bushing or worn tie rod end' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'cracked bushing or worn tie rod end' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Did a few searches and couldn't find someone with the same issue. When I squeeze on the brakes very hard coming from around 70-80 mph, but not hard enough to engage ABS, the car pulls to the right. I was on the track with an instructor and he called it "weird".
It happened every single time I was slowing down to take turn 5 at Laguna Seca.
Any ideas?
Could be a couple of things. One would be a partially frozen LEFT caliper or it could be a failing right pad creating more grip on the right side. It could also be as complete as a problem with the hydraulic system such as the actuator.
This could be caused by one of the calipers not getting enough hyd. pressure, might need a rebuild. Worth taking it to be checked out, IMO
Not a mechanic, just slepped at a Holiday inn.
In addition to real difference in the L/R braking force, yaw under braking can be caused by asymmetrical change in toe, either at the front or rear. Control arm bushings, mounts, and fasteners should be examined. Significant differences in alignment (caster, camber) between the LF and RF can also cause this.
Porsches pull to the right as a safety measure......away from oncoming traffic (and into bicycle traffic) Ferdinand Porsche did it this way, so your P would't get to much damage... bicyclers are softer than other 4 wheel driven vehicles!!
Am I full of it??? You bet!!
Man, you guys are brutal.
However, if it was pulling ONLY at turn 5, it seems more like the track than the car. Turn 5 is not the hardest braking point at Laguna, turn 11 probably is. Did the car pull at other turns or on the street?
for starters, get a flashlight and make sure the meat on your brake pads is even between both front wheels, that will give you a heads up if it's a caliper issue. otherwise, probably a cracked bushing or worn tie rod end. easy peasy.
