In my car my brakes pull to the right when the brakes are applied. I want to know what problems can cause this to happen and what methods I can use to diagnose the issue?

for one thing it will need a brake job. it is either control arm bushings worn out or a caliper on one side is frozen and not releasing or sliding properly or a bad brake hose not letting fluid back to master. a mechanic should check this out.
