2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brakes pull right then straight??

[RDuncan]

hi, just wanted to get some input before I start replacing stuff. My brakes suddenly started pulling right but when you push hard on pedal it straightens out. So lightly tapping the brake pedal will cause the brakes to act squirrely but pushing hard ---goes straight! I replaced the calipers, pads rotors, hoses about 20k ago. All from NAPA. any thoughts greatly appreciated, thanks Ram 2500 2wd longbed.

Here is a excellent link on brake pad replace with a focus on the brake hardware.

Lube the bolts and replace the rubber insert guides in the calapers. Your pull should go away. mine did.

Lightly pressing the pedal causes the pull? That means at least one brake on the right side engages *before* the brakes on the left, or the brakes on the left side are late to engage.

One cause would be a stuck piston so that that brakes doesn't release fully and engages instantly; you should notice (feel/smell) hot brakes in this case. Another cause is out-of-adjustment rear drums. Yes, rear brakes can cause pull, too.

Thank you all for the great replies......pulled right wheel off and checked caliper, found it to be frozen! I guess that'll cause problems. Just gonna replace it all calipers pads, rotors, bearings. The suggestions and video were great .thank you!
