The brakes on your car are pulling strongly to one side. What effects can this have when you are braking?

If your car's brakes are pulling strongly to one side, it can cause the vehicle to veer or swerve in that direction while braking, which is dangerous especially at higher speeds or on slippery roads. Additionally, when the braking force is uneven, the total braking distance can increase because not all wheels are providing the same stopping power. However, it does not automatically mean the anti-lock braking system (ABS) will fail—ABS is a separate system that prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking. Recognizing these effects is important so you can respond appropriately and have your brakes checked and repaired quickly.
