Default Wheel turns left when stopping downhill?!?

Seems like when i'm going down hill on non-smooth roads and i press my brake the wheel just starts to turn to the left quite a bit. Not sure what the problem is, any ideas guys? I got my alignment done already

I have a couple people telling me to check my suspension and a couple telling me to check brakes.. Help! Thanks

Dips in the road maybe?

Most definately not the problem ^

I tend to notice it now that the wheel pulls when I just slow down, I don't need to be braking all the time. And sometimes if I brake then it doesn't pull to the left and sometimes it does

You most likely have a sticking caliper. I'd check to see if the wear is symmetrical on both front wheels

Or a bad brake hose, or you could have just really old brake fluid.
