Some more info: After I let go of the brakes it goes back to normal. Could this be something to do with my discs needing machining?

Yeah just to clarify, it doesnt turn right on its own all the time, only when I hit the brakes so I dont think its an alignment problem

Yes, your brakes pulling to one side means your brakes are not applying evenly, one side is working better than the other side in stopping the wheel. Definitely get it checked.

As the previous person said, it could be an alignment/suspension problem, and this seems likely.
It could be brakes, but only if one of the brakes is braking more than the other. For example, if some brake fluid is leaking onto one of the brakes that would make it grab more or less than the brake on the other side, causing a movement to the right.
Either way, see a mechanic.

Beware of listening to women about a car because both of the women on here are wrong and it isn't a alignment problem but a problem with one side grabbing before the other in which could be brake fluid leaking on one side or a warped disk on the front or shoe on the rear. Definitely get it into a shop and have a tech check it out!

I would look at the inside of the right rear wheel and see if there is any brake fluid on the tire. I would also be careful the brakes don't lock up. You should go to a brake shop now.

Most likely it is your right front brake grabbing. Any of the other answers I saw would mean it would be pulling to the right all the time, especially if it were alignment.

It could be brake pads,brake caliper,or disc needs machining.

Your car needs an alignment and suspension work. It's not a brake problem.

one side of the brakes most likely is weaker so try getting some newer brakes on that side
