Default Wheel pulls under heavy braking or going through water

My steering wheel pulls really hard to the left (especially) and to the right when i brake hard or suddenly, and it has almost sent me into oncoming traffic on a few occaisions. the same thing happens when i go through a deep puddle. my alignment is off, due to rough roads at work and some ******* railroad tracks. does the pull come from my alignment or some other problem?

sounds like a alignment problem when its pulling and when your getting pulled when your braking, check your brakes(rotor for warpage).. also hows your tires.?!? tires, when the side wall are worn(on the inside) it tends to act like so too...

i think it may be the tires, bc my air pressure was really low for a while, but i only have 6,3xx miles on them. the rotors are ok. i think im going to take it to tire kingdom for an alignment check.

Yea if rotors arent warped just make sure you keep your tire pressure where it needs to be and get an alignment asap.
