Default Brake help

Hi all, I have a Subaru GX estate the rear hub was changed today and now when I brake it feels like they are slipping, this doesn’t happen every time I brake but if I brake hard it seems to be worse. Can anyone tell me if it could have anything to do with the hub been changed? or any ideas on what the problem could be? I have had new discs and pads put on the car last year?
Any help would be very much appreciated

Thank you

Could check the CV gaitor to see if it's split and throwing grease about.

Air in the brake system?

Grease/oil on the pads/discs.

Thanks
Sam

Cool, thanks for the reply’s, do you have any ideas on how there might be air in the system as the brakes have fitted for some time now?

Brake fluid natural attracts moister, so that's why after time you need to bleed your brakes. But that would mean just a more spongy pedal, not skips in your braking pattern.

Are your calipers and discs in good condition, any chips or scores?

Thanks
