It could actually be one of many things but I believe that it could also be driver weight inducing bump-steer when the rear end squats under acceleration and then weight transfer to the front wheels under braking.

As weight transfers the geometry changes in the suspension and not only camber is compromised, but toe as well which could account for the shift.

Just my $.02

1. Tire pressure is low on the left side
2. Alignment is whacked....toe in
3. Brake caliper(s) dragging on the left side

Alignment it is then. My tires are worn evenly and have a quite a bit of tread left. The previous owner really babied this car.

I would bet on tire pressure, because my right rear tends to lose air constantly, and when it's low, the car pulls upon accel/braking.
