Is there anything on that side that is warm/hot after a long run on the
highway? i.e. Put your hand on the hub and calipers on the left side to see
if they're significantly hotter than on the right. That could point to a
brake hanging up a bit or a wheel bearing that is failing.
It's puzzling to me that the pull would change when you move tires back and
forth.
