looks like a piston is messed up. Mine does the same, esp after I hit a bump the right way, it will pull to the right for about 1 minute.
Id check the left brakes and see how fee the wheels spin, i know mine they take 2 hands to move.

when i drive slow and press on the brakes it wont pull but as so as i hit the brakes when at high speeds it will pull it hard!if its just the piston how much do you think it will cost to fix it or is it easy to do it myself?

you probably want to have the whole caliper replaced, ive tried to fix the piston myself.
However if its high speed, you probably didnt bleed the brakes properly, you can check this by having somebody press the brakes slightly with the car jacked up
See if only 1 of the brakes are stopping harder, if so, bleed them starting from rear passenger, rear drivers, front passenger, front drivers.
Other wise get a new caliper, and clean everything with brake cleaner, apply new lithium grease.
