Brake issue. Need help

I have an 03 F350 4x4 dually. Was pulling hard left at low speed when braking (front). Replaced pads, calipers, rotors, hoses and tires. Still the same problem. You can feel the abs activate right before it almost locks up the left front brake (basically will pull the steering wheel out of my hand). Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW the abs light does not come on.

Disconnect the ABS wire on that side see if it cures it. That will tell you it is an ABS fault. Could be the sensor the wiring or the reluctor/tone ring

droldsmorland: Thanks for the tip. Actually disconnected the opposite side and it went away. Replaced the vss wiring and that gave me an abs light and the problem returned. Long and short of it was a bad wheel bearing. New hub assemblies (both sides) and put her back together. No abs light and no pulling so no problem. Chunk of change so the wallet is a bit light this week. Thanks again.
