Help! Front turns hard when braking

[Positive Vibes]

I was coming home the other night and had to hit the brakes pretty hard. I heard/felt a loud clunk sound in the front left drivers side. Now when I hit the brakes it makes a 45 degree turn towards the left. Anyone have any ideas before I take her in? Thanks!

Not knowing if you broke any suspension parts or not, it's hard to tell. Breaking a suspension component could cause you to go hard left under braking. It's also possible you cracked a brake pad. Do you hear any squealing/sraping noises during braking??

Talked with the shop who did my brakes about 2 weeks ago. He thinks the pad let go or cracked. I don't hear any noises when applying the brakes. But when I go over a large bump I can hear/fell the clunk.

could be your radius arm bushings. I'm not sure about the setup on the superlift but i do know that the bushings on stock exps suck badly. If you are hearing a large knock when you go over a bump that may be a sign that the radius arm is shifting back in the bracket allowing your left axle to pull back and turn your wheel out. Do you notice that after you brake hard and it pulls, does it pull a little when you start going again (not nearly as much, but you could still notice it.)
