Look for bad rubber hose to front brake. Restricted due to age. Also, sticking caliper pistons due to rust in the bore. What year? (would help if you filled out your profile so we know what you have).

Just went thru that. FYI Zip sells each individual line it you don't want to buy them all.

If your brake hoses are all original I would change them all at the same time and re-bleed the brakes.

Also check to see if you have a leaking caliper. The pads will get soaked with brake fluid. Just got through dealing with that. My right front caliper was leaking & when I hit the brakes it would pull to the left.

Just a thought and you should check the obvious brake stuff first, but I had a severe brake pull to the left and it turned out to be the left front inner bearing race spinning in the hub. I bought another hub and that fixed the problem.

im having the same problem with it pulling to the right.
i had this problem show up last year right before i put the car away, but never got a chance to get to it.
this summer when i got the car back out, the problem was gone. now after about 150 miles of useage, the problem just showed up again.

Suspension...
Also take a look at your front suspension. Check to see if you are missing any shims from the A arm shaft. A buddy of mine had one fall out and during braking the whole arm would shift and cause it to pull.
