A quick and dirty fix for out of alignment brakes (at least on most
American cars):

Find a spot where you have good traction, and a lot of room.  An
empty street is just fine.  Get going about 10 MPH backwards, going
straight, and jam on the brakes.  If your tires squeal a bit, you
did it just right.  If you thought that was fun, do it again.

That usually evens out the brakes on my Maverick.  I have tried it
on other cars, and it works there, too.  I got this trick from a
mechanic back when I was pumping gas for extra money...
