Brakes pulled to right...hard!
Would any know why the front brakes would pull hard to right (or either side) after decelerating hard? Mine did last night and scared the living 
out of me!

There are several possibilities.
The road you were on could have been uneven or had some ruts.
Your suspension is out of alignment. When is the last time you had your car aligned?

Could be lots of things. Does the car pull right while not under braking? If it's only under braking, then perhaps the left side is not clamping with enough force? Any fluid leaks? Check alignment? Track the car much? Anything that may have knocked the fronts out of alignment?

Brake pull can be caused by:
Low tire pressure on the side of the pull (but would also most likely cause a pull when cruising)
Faulty brake caliper on side opposite of pull
Car out of alignment (it has happened to me - car would drive down the road fine but would pull HARD under braking). I think it was front camber being way off from left side to right side (too much cross camber).
