I know my car pulls to the right a bit... when i drive..
now sometimes if I brake, and my hand isnt on the wheels, my car will pretty much turn by itself very very had to the right.
is this because of my alignment issue? and will fixing it solve this problem?
just want ot make sure, thanks!

Yeah it could be the alignment.
1. Or it could be the tires, if the air pressure isn't right.
2. Or that the tread of one tire isn't the same wit the other tire.
3. Or is the could be the tires don't match left and right.
It's either one of those 4 choices i just listed.
If one of the 3 number choices then that's not too bad.
If it's just an alignment then get an alignment.

hrm well I have 2 differnet tires, but thats front n back. not left n right.. air pressures are just fine. i check them every week.. guess it's just alignment....
i have just had new rotors and pads put on a few months ago.. doubt it could be that, plus i just had my entire brake system checked a few days ago.

I believe you mean a seized (or sticky) slider ;)

rotors don't seize, and if his caliper seized, then the brake will either not work at all and the car will do more than just pull, or always be on the rotor, and the car will again- always pull.

a seized slider will make the caliper still work, but not to its full potential, making a car pull a certain way when braking

have the alignment process done by a local store.

My brother's Accord also veers to the right, my dad say the car's tires have not been balanced for a while and the alignment is a bit off.
