    if you have 2 different front tires this can happen, as well as worn front end parts. or bad alignment.

    brakes and wheel bearings should also be checked out.

    Dont forget that as the rubber lines age, the rubber hoses can get clogged and create a restriction and create a uneven pressure to the caliper and make the car "pull" to one side when braking.

    good point, they can also swell up, or bulge aka bubble in the line, the pedal will hit the floor most of the time when this happens tho.

    its the whole left and right pulling that leads me to worn front end parts in my eyes. bad tie rods or ball joints.

    jack it up, do the good old push pull tests, see if the wheels are tight.
