It would certainly seem to be brake related, but here is a more far-fetched suggestion: a broken rear spring. This will cause asymmetric wheel loading, which can make the car pull hard to one side. You would probably notice asymmetric cornering response as well, though. Curiously, it doesn’t seem to affect the ride much.

Still same result.  Took off the drum cleaned with brake cleaner, even though all looked good, same result. Bleed the front brakes a good amount, same result. Clamped both wheel cylinders to ck movement of each. Both are moving. The front brakes were fully redone everything mid last summer. Put all back together, same result. Iv’e ordered new cylinders and will replace when arrive. Any other ideas???
