Default Pulls to the right, also some squeaking.

Hey everyone, I finally have 2 questions for the great minds that occupy this forum. Hopefully i can explain them enough to get answered. The first one has to do with my breaking and accelerating. When i do either one the jeep pulls to the right. Usually it is when i do either one of those quickly or have to break faster. Just curious what this could be caused from, allignment?
The squeaking i mentioned is coming from the front of the engine, and im 90% sure its not the belt. I think its a pulley. Does this mean a pulley is wearing out? or could i just WD40 or oil it once i track down which one it is?? If you need further explanation on either problem, I will do my best to explain. Thanks so much!
Also, my jeep is a 1994 Cherokee Sport.

most likely lubricating the squeeking pulley wont work because usually the Bearing is already going out. to narrow it down to which pulley it is use a pry bar or a long screw driver and put it to where the pulleys mount, the one thats loudest is your pulley, if that doesnt work, take the belt off and spin each pulley by hand, youll be able to tell which one it is.

Well I called my dad today, which i dont do often but hes been a mechanic his whole life so i figured id see what he had to say. He says the pulling could be a caliper dragging or something like that. Im going to check out my brakes in the next few days.
