Default brake and pulling problem

when i brake now my car pulls to the left most of the time but sometimes it does it to the right. When i try to take off really fast it pulls to the left and then tries to pull to the right. Once in a while i feel that the brake pedal gets soft then hard again. Also when i hit pot holes on either left or right it pulls to that side. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?

It could be your wheel offset (aftermarket wheels) or wide tires.

Spacers would probably worsen your problem. Are your wheels stock?

i fixed the problem. I needed an alignment, and my left front caliper was locking up and heating up. So when i took the caliper off i just greased it up and put it back together and that fixed part of the pulling problem. Then i did the alignment.
