Front Brake pulls to one side

Front Brake pulls to one side
I get ( at slow speeds more noticeable) a pull to the right.

I replaced rotors, calipers, pads about 6 mos ago.
Neither side is hung up. When on the jack I can spin the wheels equally free and then brake.

There doesn't look like any contanimation, but I will clean pads and rotors as well as regrease sliders.

The only thing I can think of is a hose problem.

I'm leaving for Fla tommorrow pulling a trailer , 3000 mile round trip

Right side is hotter than left

may be ok now....

I took apart left side. I cleaned pads and rotor and relubed pins etc. ( these are new pins).

I took it out and it hooked right even harder. At 30 mph If I stood on the brakes it would lock up right front. I stomped on it a few more times and I felt the pressure drop a little bit ( like an ABS pulse.) Now it's ok? Stops nice and straight. I don't know if the ABS or the porportioning valve was hung up or a flap inside the brake hose?

But it works fine now

otherwise try rebleeding the brakes, i assume you did this when you did for brake job, otherwise a perportioning valve would be my geuss.
