Hard left while braking plus Traction lights/leak

Ok, I'm the guy who tried to fix the axle seal cheap. It held for about a month. I'm told axle grease makes brakes stick. Makes sense since it caused a left turn when braking.
However.... right after that happens, the lights light up, and I can brake hard and it stops straight no problem.
No codes and no check engine light. Weird, right?

I live in hilly, curvy Cincinnati, so I need to find a smooth, straight road to try the zero point.
Gas cap is tight.
I haven't checked my brake lights lately.
Then I'll need to actually fix my axle leak and replace the soaked pads.
Brake booster looked replaced recently prior to purchase.
I'm thinking these are the likely only culprits.

Ahh, possible. Maybe I'll be lucky and I just stuck the sensor back in without the bolt and it finally backed out a little.
 
Update: Zero point calibration is holding so far.

Took three tries and not working exactly, but finally worked on its own after being parked for 10 minutes while I was out.

I may have a reverse problem that lifted trucks have as the front is a little low from having a full sized brush guard on the front and old springs. I'll likely have to do it again with my new OEM style strut/spring combo and 2.5/1 leveling kit going on this week.

I ordered the new seal bearing to be pressed on. As I was removing the disc/drum setup, I noticed the ebrake drums were caught. This may have caused my errors as one of my shoe retaining springs on the last install had not stayed on and one of the shoes was dragging sometimes.. Therefore in wet/slick conditions was more grippy, causing a left turn situation.

Local shop is pressing on new bearings, I'll put in new seals and shoes/pads for good measure and hopefully will be back to normal tomorrow. Then onto new shocks/springs/level kit
