I have a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500, 4x4, dual wheel, cab and chassis. I have 48K miles on it and know it needs brakes replaced. I have a problem when stopping from any speed. The truck stops fine and straight, until the final 10 feet. Then it pulls to the right. It feels like it pulls the steering wheel about 1/8 turn. Only at the end of the stop. I changed the front rotors and pads today and same problem exists. I am going to change the rear rotors and pads this week but I don't think the problem could be caused by the rear, but maybe I am wrong. I know the rear are in need of replacement and might be worse than the front were. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Like I said it seems that the truck stops straight and true until the final 10 feet of a stop. Could it be caused by the rear brakes or is it likely something else?

Pulling to one side could be caused by front end problems, brake sticking, or one side hydraulic of brake system not getting enough pressure.
