Re: front brakes

Make sure it's not a result of your right brake not actuating and giving the impression the left side is grabbing. Calipers and or pistons can freeze up. Either jack up the front right and check it that way or feel the right brake after hitting the brakes on the road a few times. If it's working at all it'll be warm.

Re: front brakes

You might have a worn steering knuckle on a tie rod, that might cause one front wheel to pull out of alignment when the brakes are applied...
