Ok i was driving on the freeway when it was raining when I notice that my car would tremble side to side, as if it was hydroplaning. It was scary. Recently my rear passenger caliper stuck and wore out that tire pretty badly. But I fixed it, and its not stuck anymore.

And today I notice my car would pull to the left when I let the steering wheel go.

And from a stop, if I give it some gas and take off, with hands off the wheel, the steering wheel would turn left 30-45 degrees.

So what you guy think is wrong? One almost bald tire? Brakes still no good? Something wrong with suspension? (joints, shocks, etc?) My lsd? axels?

Cliff notes*
One rear PASSENGER caliper stuck, causes one bald tire. Not stuck anymore.
Wet freeway roads, car shimmys side to side @55mph
Regular road, car pulls LEFT.
From a stop, gave the car some gas, and steering wheel turns LEFTs@40degrees.
 
If i were you i would do some checking it over first. Here are some things you can do. 1. check your tire pressure( i know it sounds dumb but it can make a big difference) 2. Jack up your car and try to move ## tires side to side ( a quick check to make sure nothing is loose) 3. Also i would make sure the alignment is good by taking it to a shop and having it done, it will set ya back about 30 bucks usualy. You said the brake was hanging up before, if it was your disks might have worped and made them uneven and that might be the vibration you feel, but even at that you usualy wont feel that unless you apply the brake. It could be alot of things but try them out.
