Hi i've been having this a problem with my 90 camaro, whenever i step on the brakes the steering wheel pulls to the right, does anyone have a clue why this is happening? Thanks for your help.

I had the same (dangerous) problem.
Changed the front brake hoses(both L+R) with original new ones,problem solved!
Those hoses slowly disolve and get stuck over the years,so change them if they are like 10 years old!

right once your car hits the 80-100,000 mile area most everything will need to be replaced, sound like forsure a seized caliper, mabey needs new shoes or mabey a line, most likely caliper, also a worn out front end will cause pulling.

Its been documented a hundred times on this list. Its happened to me TWICE: Once at year number seven, and again at year number fourteen.
The brake hoses collapse on the inside and restrict the fluid flow. This is why your car darts to one side when you hit the brakes then straightens out.
Buy all three rubber lines: The two fronts and the one to the rear axle. Then, flush your brake fluid once every other year to rid the system of moisture.
