Pulling to one side is usually a symptom of something wrong with the front brakes. If you have disk brakes I would start by รณ T to see if the rotors are evenly warm after the car has been driven for a few miles with little brake use. If one is much hotter than the other you probably have a frozen caliper which must be rebuilt or replaced. Or this could be caused by a bad (rubber)hose. Whichever it is, the problem is on the hot side. If neither is warm, then you should check the pads to see if they are worn out on one side.
