    It could be both, the part about it pulling to the left sounds like the brakes witch might just need alittle time to break in.

    Is there any play in your steering? You probly have somthing worn in the the front end like a tie rod. Also double check your air pressure.

      If it is pulling when you are not braking verify that the calipers are not sticking. Jack up the car and spin the wheels by hand to make sure.

      assuming the brakes are not sticking, it is time for a front end allignment. Make sure all front end components are free of problems and have it set strait.

      If it only pulls while braking you have a different problem like a caliper, or brake hose.
