Default Odd problem, help please?

Okay so my car is pulling off to the right, I got an alignment a couple weeks ago and I haven't hit anything since. Today it got worse, especially when I use the brakes. With that, I got another alignment today just to make sure that's no the problem and I checked all the tire pressure. But now, I still have to hold the steering almost 45 degrees to make my car go straight.

Sorry if that is confusing, I haven't had much sleep Working all the time.

Springs are less than a year old, I think it may be the shocks but it doesn't feel like it when I go over bumps.

seized caliper on the side the opposite side of the pull? you brake it pulls right because the right caliper is grabbing the disc and the left is not. Could also be the right caliper not releasing.

If you say you had an alignment, then you should check your brakes if they are binding on one side. You could feel each wheel and see which side has the most temperature. The side with the most temperature is the side that binds. If not, re-bleed the whole brake system.

^Agreed. Get it checked out before you drive the car more.
