Question pull when brakes applied

96 f150 ....ive got a slight pull when the brakes are applied. I recently turned the rotors and installed new pads. There was a slight pull befor all that. So i decided to bleed them . When i did the driver front(the way it pulls) seams to have alot more pressure when the fluids bled...any ideas why? collapsed line on the other side? i noticed a coulpe of plugs on the master cylinder are those proportioning? just brainstorming here any ideas or help i appreciate

First thing I would look at is the condition of the rubber line that connects to the passenger side brake calliper. It may be ballooning out under pressure, or could have a clog in it due to deteriation.

You could have a rear axle seal leaking too, this would make it pul to the opposite side as there is one less brake grabbing.
