Ah, the caliper. Possibly. If it is 'pulling' and not slewing it would be the front caliper. Look for split boots and corrosion blocking the piston. At the rear, it may be that rust has impeded operation of the self adjuster on one side. This will cause the rear to 'step out' in wet conditions. Once again, a caliper rebuild or replacement would be required. Make sure that there are not any other mechanical issues which could cause braking problems.
