Default New BBK pulls left or right when braking

2012 JKU. BBK installed by dealer. Car pulls to left or right even under low speed braking. What possible causes?

They installed it, let them go through it all and fix it.

It can be the same thing as any other brake job pulling after installation. Air in the lines, grease on pads/ rotors, improper break-in procedure, etc.

A bit off-subject, but how much did the dealer charge for the labor?

Just for giggles I asked my local stealership and was told $1080, labor only. All I could do was shake my head and laugh as I walked out.

My bet is they didn't get all the air out of the lines. Also, check to be sure the hard lines aren't leaking at the master cylinder.

Problem was the brake pads. Replaced 5143350-AC. All is good.
