Mach 1 issue while braking

[Amp686]

Hi guys
I have 2022 mach with hp. Now has 1600 miles on it . After 700 miles I noticed whenever I press brakes car pulls on leftside . Sometimes on right side On any speed , I took it to 2 dealerships they told all things are good there is no any problem with parts . Did anyone notice this issue with their car? Or any thoughts on this .

If it switches sides and you have the HP(which makes it worse) it s just the tramling of the tires most likley.
You COULD have the alignment checked and tire pressure.
Free alignments with a new car/Ford.
Tell them it wanders too much and request alignment.

I can almost guarantee you this is happening because of the tires that car comes with. Those cup 2 tires tramline like a sob. Once they are worn out and you swap to some PS4S or another tire that is more for the road and not track tires you should not have an issue. Any small crack in the road I would hit in my car when i still had the cup 2's on it would suck me to either side and same thing with any worn roads the car just wanted to stay right in the otherwise invisible grooves in the roads from other cars traveling on them. I'd say this is normal because of the tires specifically.

Tramlining--the car follows imperfections in the road, as they grab the tires and pull you along them. Affects cars with wider, or stickier tires--they reveal slop in OEM suspension.

Chances are, your vehicle is 100% fine... according to Ford's standards. Only work around is to step out of OEM specifications, and getting aftermarket suspension parts for a stiffer ride, or add more toe-in to reduce tramlining.

I have the same experiences quite often where I live. It was new, so I thought my suspension was broken. But the roads here are quite ravaged by 18-wheelers. Especially with 285's, and now with 305's, the car loves to tramline if I let go of the wheel.
I've wasted about $500 in alignments thinking it was always off, but no. It's just that cars like these love to tramline, because of grip from the tires exposing weaknesses (softness/"slop") in the suspension components.

You won't encounter this (rather, rarely ever will) in normal street cars because they have narrower & harder tires.

Yep it must be the CUP2s. Mine pulled pretty heavy all over the place, if it was your brakes it would be consistent on one side. Save up for that PS4S car will drive so much better. I switched mine when it had 200 miles.

Had the same thing on my Z06/Z07. Due to God-Awful Cup2 tires. Tramline like a mo-fo.
As suggested, new rubber will fix it or just deal as is.

Checked alignment as well no signs .

If this is the case the next thing I would have checked as I saw mentioned previously is the alignment. If you've got rid of the cup 2's and aren't running another track tire I can't think of anything else that may be causing this issue especially being as it is going to either direction and not pulling to the same way when this concern is happening.

It's tramlining. Mine does it all over the place on our shitty San Diego roads.

wow, only 275 s in front using DWS and still pulling. I have the OEM 255 s in front and was thinking 275-285 s square set up next.

From working on cars for a couple decades now, I have found that there some roads where it makes no difference what tires are on a car, will still do this. Deep indentations usually from heavy trucks can be the most problematic.

It's not slop from Ford. It's normal. Some cars it never goes away, and is a result of the performance based nature of the car. You can change your alignment, and it will make a difference. At the cost of performance. Pick your poison.

Too many people want a factory race car to drive like a a regular Camry. Either you want performance, or you want comfort. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
