No ideas? Rotors? Bushing? Caliper? Need to bleed brakes?

Hmmmmmmmmmm...I would just take off the wheels & check everything for damage or anything loose. Also check your break fluid level carefully every couple of days for any change.

Thanks Mecca.. I'm planning on tearing things apart and replacing the AC Bracket/Mount today.. so I'll look. The weathers been bad and it always weirds me out how randomly problems can pop up like that

It could be out of alignment. When the front wheels are toed-out the car has little sense of direction. Are you using the brakes hard enough that the ABS (if equipped) is kicking in?

The car does need an alignment, but it was hardly noticeable.. I'd have to let go of the wheel.. for.. 1/4 mile to notice.. ABS has never kicked on that I'm aware of.. I'm kind of a coasting type of stopper..
