Why does my car pull hard to the right when I brake?
Worn or warped rotors: Worn or warped rotors can cause the vehicle to vibrate when the brakes are applied and in some cases the car will pull to one side when braking. Rotors can be warped due to stress from towing, hilly terrain, or other situations that put stress on your braking system.
