Default brake problem - pulling to the right.

I am having a strange brake problem - whenever i brake a bit hard, the steering wheel pull to the right about 5-10 degrees. Checked the brake pads/rotors, they all look fine, nothing unusual. This is on a 94 accord.

check your rotors they may be warped. does the steering wheel only pull to the right when braking??

more then likely you have a seized left caliper.... if not you have a warped right caliper causing your right side to lock up.... or maybe it is vice/versa

i 2nd that; lift fron vehicle up/ put in neutral...

spin driver side tire & have someone apply brake pedal... confirm that it doesn't work. spin pass side to confirm that this is working.

pull tires , remove-relube- check the sliding caliper pins (heck, might as well check the caliper piston for rust/seized in the bore)

dont forget to check the brake lines... a bad soft line can also cause a pull
