You could possibly have a seized caliper. Basically one of the front wheels have more braking force than the other, causing the car to pull to one side.

If it were me, this is what I would do. Make sure parts 47715A (Main & Sub) are greased properly. The caliper actually slides on these pins. WD40 wont do it, go to your parts store and ask for a heavy duty grease/lube and apply it on the pins. If those are lubed properly and the caliper is sliding back and forth easily, I would then look at the caliper itself and make sure the pistons are not seized. I see you are in NY, the winters are rough on your brake components.
