pulls to right

Over the past week I've noticed that if I stop "fast" the car pulls to the right.If I slowly apply the brake I don't notice anything but the harder I hit the brakes the harder it pulls.Theres no noise at all.My thought is the right front brake is hitting the rotor first for some reason.Uneven wear?Calipers misalligned?Warped rotor?I havent looked myself because I have limited knowledge and I'm beyond broke so I can't take it to a shop.It's a 89 RS and any thoughts are appreciated.

You name a few possibilities. Calipers sticking(not releasing as much on the right side, or the left side hanging up and applying slower). Hoses getting old(flexing too much or colapsing)--if they are old and cracked replace them before one breaks(happened to me once). The best one I've seen is my Dads old Suburban we used to have--hard pull left for a few seconds when the brakes were applied. Hoses looked good. Everything looked good. Ended up being the clamp that holds the hose to the frame was rusting(and expanding) pinching the hose. It was a gradual problem that became dangerous.

the brake hose(s) cause this problem sometimes..

one side gets more fluid than the other side causing it to pull more to one side..

maybe check what your hoses look like..

replace your left hand brake hose(driver's side) it is internally collapsing. and since it gets little/or no fluid the other side gets full pressure, causing a pull
