Default brake probs help

hi my 1998 turbo is doing something odd. started a few days ago, i notice that the brake pedal is very hard, eventually i get some feel to it and the car seem lock up at the front and pull to the left..feels like abs on the pedal, can defp feel the frontg left pulling

after a while , pumping break the fault dissapears and i have balanced breaking again. now i do have a problem where the steering is to the left, sometimes it will be straight ( steering wheel location when driving straight line)

im wondering if this is related, any ideas.

sticking front brake caliper piston 4 pots or sticking /seized slider 2 pots?

ABS module problem?

is the ABS light coming on?

steering pull could be caused by you needing to counter the pull from a sticking caliper.

No ABS light coming on either. The brakes feel pretty balanced when the fault is not there, hands off steering at say 30 , gradually break > is in a straight line

Im wondering if a suspension component is moving, lower arms , ball joint etc?...
