Driver side tyre/steering drags to the left when braking

[sharkins]

I recently noticed that when i depress my brake pedal the driver side tyre drags to the left as well as the steering. Pls help. What might be the cause?

first off, check you tire pressures... this usually happens when you tires are low on air.. then go from there

How are the brake pads and rotors? Could be the problem as well.

what ends up happening is that the tire is constantly "pulling" to the side you're low on air... if u drive straight on a highway you will notice that it will pull too but its more noticeable when u hit the brakes.... if its not that, then it could be a multitude of other things... steering components (bad alignment, tie rod ends, steering linkage), bad tires (shifted belts, uneven wear) or bad brakes (frozen caliper, frozen sliding pins)... so start with the basic and start ruling out
