Default Car pulling during braking

2002 A4, use to stop straight as an arrow on any kind of payment. The last two times I've driven it, I've notices that the car is pulling to one side when the brakes are first applied. Like 1 or more calipers are "grabbing" before the rest". Any ideas?

I've seen this before on older cars where one of the brake hoses needs to be replaced, but I wouldn't expect a hose to be bad on a car with only 20000 miles.

Could possibly be warped rotors. Had the same problem on mine. Swapped out the brake rotors and all was well.
