Sounds like the wheels need re-balancing - that would cause the vehicle to 'pull' to one side during braking.
It sounds as if your vehicle might have suffered some serious damage when you hit the curb, especially since you hit the right tire but the vehicle pulls to the left. The fact that your vehicle shakes when braking means it may be unsafe to drive. It is possible that the brakes could fail completely when you need them the most. Have your vehicle inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic immediately. After that, stop hitting curbs.
a safety system which prevents the wheel on a motor vehicle from locking while braking.
An Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) improves vehicle safety by preventing wheel lock-up during hard braking. This helps maintain steering control, allowing drivers to maneuver during emergency stops. Additionally, ABS enhances braking efficiency on slippery surfaces, reducing the risk of skidding. Overall, it contributes to shorter stopping distances and greater stability while braking.
When driving the ABS system doe not operate. During an attempt to stop pressure on the brake pedal activates the system but it does not always do anything. Only when a wheel skids does the system turn on. A wheel that is still turning while braking is more effective at slowing the vehicle. (look up Kinetic versus Static friction) When the ABS detects a skidding wheel it pulses the pressure to each wheel in a sequence. The pulsing helps keep the wheel turning and slows the vehicle better.

A load sensing brake proportion valve is designed to adjust the braking force applied to the rear wheels of a vehicle based on the load carried by the vehicle. By sensing the load, it ensures that the braking force is proportionate to the weight, enhancing braking effectiveness and stability. This helps prevent rear-wheel lockup during braking, particularly in vehicles with varying loads, improving overall safety and control.
Front wheel brakes offer several advantages in terms of safety and performance compared to other braking systems. One key advantage is that front wheel brakes provide better stopping power and control, as they are able to distribute the braking force more evenly and effectively. This can help reduce the risk of skidding and improve overall handling and stability during braking. Additionally, front wheel brakes can also help to prevent the vehicle from veering off course during sudden stops, enhancing overall safety and responsiveness on the road.

You need an alignment.
the brake rotors are warped. resurface or replace rotors. if the vehicle shakes without applying the brakes, check tire balance.
Yes, a brake disc and a rotor are the same component in a vehicle's braking system. They are both flat, circular metal discs that rotate with the wheel and are squeezed by the brake pads to slow down or stop the vehicle.
