Hung caliper maybe, sometimes the hoses will go bad and either hold pressure or not let pressure threw.

the last one I had acting that way ended up being toed out just a little bit, if the brakes do not fix it you might check the alignment

Wandering is definitely a strong symptom for toe'd out alignment.

My brother's 95 pulled very hard to the right until we put on new tires. But after less 10k miles, it was doing it again from the tires wearing unevenly. After we got the front end aligned, this problem stopped. Take it from someone who has experienced this exact problem.

If front rubber brake lines have not been changed. I would change them. Not too expensive.
