pulls hard right when braking help !!!!!!! ok for starters ive read most other post on here about slide pins calipers alignment and blah blah well i call bullshit !!!! ha ha all joking aside i replaced the 2 rubber brake lines cause as soon as i noticed the problem i automatically thought brake lines were collapsed so next i naturally assumed that it would need calipers the new calipers of course come with new pins i greased them and put new everything pads and all and under hard braking the thing still pulls crazy hard to the right 
when i jack the car up the driver side wheel does seem a little more hung then the passenger side as far as free wheeling but it has very recent alignment new calipers new lines so what the heck is my problem could it be the master cylinder i have even replaced the abs block on the car someone please enlighten me i mean could the front end components be loose or something ive checked and tightened everything i can think of if i cant figure this thing out will some1 sell me some TNT lol hope some1 knows something

yes calipers are new so are the slide pins ive done everything i know to do im goin to try and get it on a lift today and maybe im looking in the wrong spot hell maybe my torque arm is loose or something idk nothing makes sense tho ..............
Did you change brake pads? If not then you might have oil or grease on one set of pads.try switching sides with the pads and see if the problem changes.if it does then thats your problem.
Had the same problem on my 92 camaro, after new calipers, pads I still had the same problem.
The issue ended up being two things. I forget what the part is called now but it was a long bolt with bushings that I think connected either the swaybar to the suspension or it connected the lower arm to something I really do not remember.
That helped it a little but the main problem wound up being I needed new tie rod ends.

Have you checked the wheel hubs? If the hub has play it will cause it to pull. One way to tell is driving down a not so "flat" road. A little pulling from side to side is normal depending on wheels/tires. However if it seemes to "dive" I guess would be the word for it like mine did then I would make sure the bearing hubs are ok. I had one bad about a year ago. Just had a tiny and I mean tiny ammount of play in it. It pulled all over and the worst while I was on the brakes.

OK thank god ! ive found the problem maybe this will even help someone else i noticed it would only pull at high speeds 60 and above anything below that it acted normal so i got to thinkin maybe the abs sensor or abs motor was misreading something thinking there was wheels slip and letting clamp force go on the left and the right was staying clamped therfore jerking to the right i was only partially right the events i just described were happening as i described but what the culprit was when i put in a new abs block i got the front left and front right lines reversed from how they should be so when my computer detected wheel slippage it was releasing the wrong caliper im very happy hope this helps someone else...........................
