Pulls to the left when breaking 900

Hi all,

I have a 1997 Volvo 940 2.0 Turbo with 312,000 km on the odometer.
Recently, I've noticed that the car pulls to the left only when I apply the brakes.

I've already checked the caliper pins, and pistons (like new really) which are working as expected, and the brake pads are brand new. The rotors have 112,000 km on them, still within their specs.

Although I have a strong feeling that the issue lies somewhere in the front right area, I wonder if such behavior could possibly be caused by the rear brakes, as I haven't checked the pistons there. However, looking at the front ones, I don't see any reason why the rear ones would be faulty.

It’s as if when I brake, the car slightly lowers on the right and drifts to the left, but at this point, I'm not sure if the issue is related to the braking system. Maybe it could be a suspension problem?

The alignment is always good on this car; it drives straight, and there is no abnormal tire wear.

Do you have any other advice?

Thank you,
Alex
