"The car pulls to the right slightly when on the freeway."

I just had to replace a sticking caliper piston on my 940 for the same symptom. It's known to happen, and has to start sometime.

Mine was just after replacing the rotors and pads. I may have caused the piston to stick when I had to push it way in to clear the combined new pad + rotor thickness.

Feel for the difference in heat between sides after a short drive. If it's a dragging brake, the heat will be obvious.
