Alignment?

Re-bleed the brakes. I have found air pockets around one wheel before. Flush the system completely with 3-4 bottles. Do the outside bleeder, then inside, then outside again.

Lastly, the front struts can work loose at the two big bolts to the knuckle. The paint on the ZLE struts I think is part of the problem. If they get loose (this happened twice to me) they change both the camber and toe as the knuckle pivots. You might feel a click through the wheel on hard turns. Use a breaker bar on the bolts until you are sure they are bottomed out.
