Example - Seized caliper piston on right front wheel will make the car pull to the left !

Seized caliper piston on right front wheel will make the car pull to the right as the brake wont relise and make it come on before the other/left brake because the brake pressure is higher than the relise pressure so the piston comes out but wont get pushed back in
