Pulls while braking
 
My 850 Turbo w.110Kmi on original suspension components recently began pulling a bit to either side while braking, easy or hard. The front tires are rounding on the outside if that helps point to the problem.

Does this sound like a control arm problem? Is there a way I can test for whatever it is using the car's jack?

Thx for your replies.

Unless you ave other symptoms like a clunk, wandering or tramlining, it's unlikely to be a suspension issue.
Feathering on teh outside edges of front tyres is pretty normal on stock vehicles, it's positive camber causing the wear on turns, positive camber creates understeer which is safe for dummy drivers.
I would look at either a sticking caliper or an underachieving caliper.

Regards, Andrew.
