Hi,
If this happens when you apply the brakes, that is usually an indicator that one side isn't working as well as the opposite side. However, there can be other causes.
For example, if it pulls left when you use the brakes, the right side may or may not be working.
How badly does it pull? Is it only when the brake is applied? If so, lift one front wheel at a time off the ground. Spin the wheel while someone applies the brakes. Do both sides stop as quickly?
Also, take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

Take care,
