Default Keeps jerking when braking

I am really beginning to get frustrated by my car (a 98 V70XC). When I apply the brakes the steering wheel jerks to the left and the car veers hard to the right. I've had the car aligned twice, replaced a bunch of front end parts (before the alignments), replaced the brake calipers and bled the brakes several times. I am at a loss as to what is causing it. This car has had a really great service history, the guy I bought it from spent a fortune maintaining it and I have every record from the day it was born, so I know it's not been beat around. The alignment shop told me everything was tight and nothing needed to be replaced. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this??

Have you replaced your control arms?

Hey jmana - My 1999 V70 was doing exact same thing. Ended up being the tie rod assembly on the side the car pulled to when braking. Did you replace TREs when you did control arms?
