Brake pull '96 explorer

[raaizin]

I have a 1996 explorer which I have an brake pull. It pulls to the right. I have replaced the rubber brake lines, pads, rotors,left caliper, and have cleaned all the parts to ensure there is no binding. I still have the pull. Could it be the master cylinder or the abs module. There arent any codes. I have had this pull the first time about 2yrs ago and I thought I fixed it. It just came back and that is when I replced the left caliper. Car has 198K on it and may be headed to the crusher

What's the right caliper look like?

I'd replace the one on the right and see what happens.

The right caliper didnt look to bad. I would think a sticking left caliper would cause car to pull right. What could happen on the right caliper to make it pull right. Excuse my ignorance..


P.S. I will replace right caliper and put some new brakepads(done @45k ago) and see what happens
Sincerely,

Calipers are usually replaced in sets, even though only one seems bad.
You start out even.
Sticking/binding calipers will cause a drag. Cocking from wear will cause a drag. Mostly, the pins that the caliper slides on get corroded and need cleaning and lubrication [and their respective bores].
Also, the piston and it's bore can get corroded , gunked up, or other wise stick.
