After a rack swap, I step on the brakes and the steering wheel jerks to the right. Is this air in the lines or is something damaged?

It could be air in the line for your drivers side. If the caliper and the drivers side isn't compressing the pad then it would pull to the right. You could try it.

I have had that problem before and it took me a long time to figure out what is was. It was the brake line itself that runs right into the caliper. What happens is overtime that rubber line breaks down on the inside and when you push the piston back into the caliper to put your brakes back on it forces that fluid in a upward direction which is opposite from what it normally does and it cause the rubber on the inside to fold up. Then you have less pressure going to one of your calipers causing the car to pull to the opposite side that you have the problem on. I hope this helps.

well it doesnt pull. It happens also when the car is standing still, the steering wheel sort of jerks and the pedal feels like it has a void, making me believe its air...
