First, check front-end alignment and tire conditions. If those check out, then, unless there are contaminants on the rotors of the offending side, it is time to jump in there and do a standard brake job. Replace pads, rotors, make sure caliper pistons aren't sticking (clean up the piston surfaces), and purge/replace the brake fluid. Do it right, and you will be back to specs.

Guys, he said it pulls when he steps on the brakes. One of the ca[ipers is not working correctly. Could be a number of things, but most likely one caliber is hanging up. Other options are crimped brake line.. If allignment it most likely would pull all the time

thankyou for your replies everyone, I assume this is not something I can do myself.. to be honest i already had my bearings and my hubs changed.. but didnt get an allignment because winter started.. so now im just waiting for it to get warm so I can install coilovers and then get a perfect allignment...
I do know that my rotors have some grooves but the car definately does brake better on the right side.. should i take it to a mechanic to check? and would the steel or metal brake lines be a good upgrade?
