Steering wheel jerks when brakes first applied on 900

Recently replaced brake pads (PBR) and rotors (Brembo) and bled front hydraulic lines on my 93' 940 (ABS brakes). Now, the brakes seem to pull for an instant upon first application giving the steering wheel a small jerk when brakes first applied. Happens so fast that the car doesn't change direction.

I re-bled the calipers, but the steering wheel still shakes one time when I stab the brakes. The FAQ section says “this is the classic symptom of bad radius rod to control arm bushings”, but I replaced these less than a year ago, along with the ball joints. I plan to inspect the tie rod ends next, but it seems strange that a suspension part would fail just when the brakes were serviced. Any other ideas? Thanks...
