Question

I was doing some spirited driving on a stretch of road and while braking I noticed my brakes pull to the left side fairly hard. What could be the cause of this?

Does the car track straight otherwise?

If it's really bad it could be a stuck caliper, but if it's just a little then i wouldn't worry.

yes it always goes straight
Is there any reason one brake could be functioning better than the other one?

Well, the caliper slides on a metal pin, about 3/8 around or so. If there is not enough grease or rust and dirt gets in there, it can stop sliding so the brake pad will stop being pressed against the disc on one side.

Is one tire worn more than the other?
