Check tire pressures all around, jack up the front and try spinning the tires, do they spin evenly with the same force applied? If the brakes are causing it, open the bleeder screw on the locked whell, if it now spins freely, replace the hose, if it stays locked up, replace calipers(both sides), If spin test is OK, check tires and alignment. Check for worn front end parts.

If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes you might need to adjust or service your calipers. Signs of a bad disc brake caliper include:
* When your disc brake caliper is worn you will often hear a squeaky or squealing sound that should not be ignored. In addition, your brake pads will often vibrate when you are trying to stop your vehicle.
* Difficulty pushing the brake pedal is a frequent sign that the disc brake caliper is out of alignment.
* Drivers may experience the vehicle pulling to one side while braking.
* Excessive heat or smoke coming from the wheel area.
