Have a check of the front suspension and steering components; as in ball joints, control arm bushings and tie rods.
Even though this likely is only pulling while the brakes are applied; it could be caused by an alignment angle changing/shifting while braking, due to worn suspension & steering parts?

Thanks Dan, I have looked at the front end parts but I think I am going to take it to a buddy of mine that works at an alignment shop. A lot of times you cant see anything with the naked eye. It could be possible that you are correct because it really does not pull under 25 mph. I sure hate to take it to the Ford garage $$$$. What part of Canada are you in? thanks for the reply!

Southwestern Ontario in the great little City of London; its half way between Toronto and Windsor, Approx 2 hours to either city.
Windsor shares the boarder with Detroit.
