2003 Vauxhall Astra car moves to the right slightly

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Year: 2003
Variant: 1.4 16v
Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
When I brake at high speeds the car moves a little to the right even though the steering is straight, does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

Could be slight brake pull due to imbalance on front brakes . For instance ,might be pad sticking in calliper . Could also be wear on front suspension / steering showing up on heavy braking.If it is bad ,best to get car on brake tester for once over and see what readings show .

first strip front pads check caliper sliders arnt seized clean up and lube
if not could be a slightly blocked flexy hose the best way to check is using an mot rolling road
