the old pulling to left when hit brakes

Hello all, Yes its the common problem when I hit the brakes 1996 dodge 2500 diesel 4x4 pulls to left. Reason why Im asking here is, I think I installed parts that were supposed to correct the problem. First off, I did get a front alignment. Before that, I installed one of those bars that connects to pitman arm and frame. Then I installed a rough country steering shock. New tires all around. At the time of the front end alignment they just could not get the steering wheel exactly centered only a inch or so off. I do some of my own installs. Brakes all around. I'm 75 still like to mess around. Please give me your hunch. Should I install a stabilizer bar? At annual inspect he said brakes are ok that I installed. Or could the left front brake be some how not just right? The stabilizer bar may help or no???

I would guess one front caliper is working better than the other one and it pulls to the side that squeezes the rotor, either harder, or faster or both.

I'm thinkin the sliders on the right side could use some grease as the left side is closest to the source and would take the extra pressure if the sliders were lubed better....or the rh caliper is getting draggy....

Just my .05 (adjusted for inflation)
