When I hit the brakes the car wants to go left. I've bled the right side with no luck. Rotors look to be wearing evenly. What do you think??

Believe it or not, it can be an aligment issue, but more likely is something in the brake system.  With four wheels off the ground, have a helper ( we'll name him Bubba ) step on the brake pedal.  Attempt to rotate all four wheels, one by one, to locate the wheel(s) that are not providing as much braking effort.  It can be a front wheel or a back wheel causing your condition.  If nothing shows here, Check the wheels to see if they turn freely, one at a time, IMMEDIATELY after Bubba RELEASES the brake pedal.  Any delay in release will equate to a delay in activation.  Now, you're on a path to determine if it's a bad caliper, brake hose, brake line etc.  If your brake hoses are more than 10 years old, replace them and all the fluid in the system.  

Hope this helps
