The only way to know what the problem is would be to get the front off the ground and check each component for looseness. If you're replacing ball joints you might as well replace the tie rod ends (I'd replace the center link, as well).
Make sure the brake caliper is releasing on the side it's pulling. A soft or collapsed brake hose could cause the caliper to not release fully.
