Question I brake, I go right???

I'm hoping somebody knows whats wrong... bcuz i can't see anything to narrow it down

I got this car about 6 months ago and there was nothing really wrong with it xcept that everytime i brake the car pulls to the right. its not the tires, its not the brakes, and its getting WAY worse. You stop hard and the car will do a 90 degree turn all by itself. I don't even want to talk about wet situations bcuz they are pretty scary.
I had someone look at it... and apparently the tire stays in place when the rest of the car keeps going and its getting as far back as to burying itself in the fender. It only does this on the right side. Could it be just the bushings or do i need a control arm? if anyone knows of or had this happen to them let me know what i can do!! Thanks

Make sure your RF tie-rod is firmly connnected to wheel knuckle and no looseness. For wheel to turn the tierod must be moving (how?). Perhaps a damaged steering rack. Lift car and attempt to move wheel while holding steeing wheel fixed. It should not move.

good luck

solved

turns out it was a bushing that was totally shot. also found some leaks with axle and strut issues... i'll have to get those replaced later on. and i dont think an alignment would solve the issue of my tire hitting the fender.... but thats on the list of things to do. thanks guys
