Sure sounds like no brakes on one side, but these cars have zero or negative offset steering, so effects are usually minimal.

Things to look for:

Plugged or "Ballooning" brake line, so you only have brakes on one side.

Bad track rod bushings, or bearings, or maybe bad control arm bushing so control arm moves back on braking, changing the toe.

Rear brakes only working on one side.
