Sounds like you need an alignment and wheel balance, Could also be uneven pad wear or a caliper on its way out. But I'm gonna say alignment

Air on left side tire could be lower than right side. Whatever it is, always troubleshoot from cheap to expensive solutions.

You may also have a bad tension rod bushing, allowing one of the wheels to shift under hard braking.

It could also be an air pocket in one of the caliper causing it not to apply as much pressure on one side.
