It can mean something as simple as the tire is low on that side, to as complex as the slider for the caliper is locked up. In really bad scene, you could even have loose steering components, that are allowing the car to drift one way or the other during braking. Most common, is the brake cause. Several shops offer free brake inspections, especially if you are getting other work done there. Have the brakes inspected, and if they are fine, recheck the suspension and steering components, and dont forget to check the air in your tires! In cold weather, a tire can easily loose up to 10 psi per week, so check the pressure out. Good luck.

A few things that would cause it may be grease on the brake pads, leaky caliper or leaky wheel cylinder, a sticking caliper, clogged brake line. Doesn't sound like it should be too expensive to fix! Hope all goes well.
