Uneven brake pressure...

Hey guys, what would cause my car to pull to the left when the brakes are applied? Obviously, the left wheel is braking harder or sooner than the right... right? Any suggestions would be helpful!

brakes could need to be bled or you could have a pinched brake line, i had the same problem like a year ago, mine turned out it was a pinched passenger front break line, so it made mine pull to the drivers side when i hit the brakes

if its pulling to left then it means left is getting more pressure so you should check pass side for restriction and might as well check tie rod ends also while your under there, that can be a cause too.

99% of the time a brake pull to one direction indicates a problem with the front on the opposite side of the pull. If your pulling left I would be looking at the right brake hose for collapse or a bad or sticking right front caliper. Try bleeding that side and see if fluid flow from the bleeder looks to be of normal volume. Any restriction of fluid flow or caliper issues will cause the pull you are describing.... ALM
