Brake Problems
I have a question on possible brake problem.
When I am driving at say 40mph and hit the brakes hard, the car pulls to the right. I don't hear a noise it just pulls to the right.
Any thoughts.

Does the car itself pull to the right...or does the wheel move to the right with it?
If the wheel pulls to the right along with the car, then you have a braking issue. If ONLY the car pulls it may just be an alignment issue.

Does it only pull to the right only when you step on the brakes? If so that's because your passenger side front brakes are working and the driver's side are not. If it pulls to the right even while your driving then it's probably an alignmment issue like Durango_Boy said.

Mine did the exact same thing when I first test drove it. The left front caliper was frozen and not grabbing the rotor. Once it worked itself free, the pulling to the right stopped.
Also, look at the inside of the left side tires and see if you notice any brake fluid leaking down the tire.
Good luck,
Dino
