Front Suspension Dip...
When I brake strongly at 30+ mph, the front right suspension dips and rolls left a bit. Shocks seem strong and new tires. Is there a bushing I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance!

An alignment will tell you where the issue is, chances are you've got a worn A-arm, sway bar or tie rod bushing. Unless you've got a subframe/engine mount collapsed.
But bad roads and unevenly inflated tires can do that. Lastly, frozen left side brake caliper, but you'd have other symptoms.
You said new tires...did the old ones wear even?
