Braking seems to interfere with steering

Maintenance/Repairs

Hi! This is Ema. I have a 2004 Volvo XC90 that I have thoroughly enjoyed driving until recently but now, especially in wet weather, when I put on the brake going at least about 40mph it feels like there is a little jerk and like I don’t have as much control over the steering. On wet surfaces it feels like I slip as braking interferes with steering. No, I do not need a front end alignment nor am I hydroplaning. Remember, this happens on dry surfaces too, but without the slip. I need some guidance so when I approach one of the two mechanics who have worked on my car and ask them what they think about it, I will be able to choose the one who sounds most like he knows what he is talking about. I hate to say it, but I’m single and feel I am often taken advantage of. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO TWO GUYS I TRUST DIAGNOSING MY CAR ISSUES!
