get a good 4 wheel alignment, check your pressures, and you may want to rotate your fronts to rears, if possible, before the alignment. if it was that far off, you could have gotten uneven wear on your front tires, which will affect your new alignment. its best to have either new, or evenly worn tires on front when getting one.

If the alignment doesn't solve the problem, then there might be something wrong with a caliper or brake line. But that would be the case if it always pulled to the same side. Also check the sway bar end links and maybe the tie rods.
