i have a 2007 gmc yukon that has a 3in lift and 275/70r18 tires And ive noticed that it has been jerking like its in 4wd when i turn sharp at slow speeds but its only in 2wd, then just today when i pulling into my parking lot i hit my brakes to start slowing down to park my front brakes jerked then as i turned it left black skids as i turned, when i got out i check for leaks and didnt see anything, i felt my rotor and it was warm to the touch, what could be causeing this problem :hmmm2:

Rotor better be warm. Friction is heat and that is what stops you. Both should be warm if calipers are working properly. May be a caliper problem you are feeling, wheel speed sensor causing anti lock brake issues or a locker in the rear that is acting up.
