Jerky steering when Braking

Whenever I apply the brakes, my vehicle jerks to one side or the other (it varies on which side). Could this be a sticky caliber?

Could be, but it's odd that it's both sides. You may have a worn out joint or two there also. No big deal, or course. Just check all the front suspension and fix what you find.

i would guess it is a worn out control arm bushing. if you look at them you can often tell they are bad (rubber split and cracked).
