A few options. Clogged brake line.. kinked brake line.. or if you got brakes done the spring inside could have not been installed. Warped rotors could be the problem too.

Like they said check your rotors and brake pads, when was the last time they were replaced and were both sides done at the same time?

Unless one tire is extremely low on pressure or was swapped out from a bald tire to a new spare and the other wasn't, wont be tires

I mean like when u get in a rut in the road from where an 18 wheeler has been driving. And it pulls u to one side and u have to fight it back. Have u been hearing a grinding noise when u get on the brakes and does it shimmy when u get on the brakes.

Been really busy thanks for the replies. I have a 07X never had a brake job, run 265/70r/17's mickey thompson mtz only have 25k on my jeep. I do notice some pull not much when driving if I let the wheel go. It pulls way more when I brake. Sometimes if I brake unexpectedly and forget it can throw me in the other lane. No grinding noises at all. seems to be the right front brake I think. It seems to be where the pull comes from. No squeaky brakes dont do that much off roading. May be the tire I never rotated them I know stupid but i work overseas and dont spend that much time stae side so it sorta wasa forgotton issue.

I think I ansewred everyones questions I will check the brakes rotor and pads.
