Default Break issue on eg...any ideas?

My 95 eg hatch...when I break it swerves to the left...the harder I break the harder it swerves...also when I drive straight the steering wheel has to be angled to the left...is this just an alignment problem or something else?

YES UR TEOs are the PROBLEM, time for alignment, any suspension modification? also can be uneven tires pressure or uneven dropped of the car. Toes are mostly likely the problem

Its brake not break....

First check your tire pressure and make sure they are all equal. More than likely its your alignment though.

Pull your right front wheel before going for an alignment and check to make sure the flex line is not pinched. Visually inspect everything else while you're in there for obvious damage or problems.

if its not your alignment it could be your caliper hanging up..
is there excessive brake dust on that wheel?? Is the pad worn
more than the other side???

Take it off and look at the rubber brake line hose. Make sure its not pinched or twisted in something.
