Default Scary incident

I was going up a hill, doing about 65, in4th gear, when a jackass decided to change lanes without looking. I jammed the brakes really hard. When I did the steering wheel almost ripped out of my hands. It pulled really violently to the right. It has never happened before, and I tried to make it do it again, but thank God it would not do it again. This really scared me, do ya'll have any ideas. The road was well paved with no ruts or other inconsistancies.

Sometimes even a slight indentation in the road, even one you can't see, can pull the wheel quite hard.

there is a lane on 75s going to work that if i even get in that lane my car goes left..right...left, right. Worse when braking. My 914 didnt like that lane either. The truck i dont even notice it. Could have been a crown in the road. May want to check it out again on a smooth road, get to where you can take your hands just off the wheel and it goes straight, start on the brakes smoothly and get gradually harder on them. IF it starts pulling to one side, could be an indication of a brake line sticking alittle/colapsing inside- or a caliper sticking alittle.
