In addition to irregular brake wear, steering pulling, there may be other reasons

You step on the brake and the car pulls to one side, right or left, which can pose a danger for your car to go out of the straight line. And your first reaction is I’ll take the car to the workshop to check the braking system.

But beware, the car that pulls to one side when braking does not always necessarily have a brake problem. But how so? First of all, the two front wheels may have a different diameter due to greater tire wear on one side.

Another possibility, the tire on one side may be well below the pressure than the other. Another is the misaligned steering or oil or grease has fallen on one of the brake discs and only the one on the other side is stopping the car.
