pulling while braking

Ok I did a search and most complaints relate to the brakes causing this issue. I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads and the front 2 calipers. The brakes were pulsing that's was my excuse to "upgrade" to the 338mm setup. The truck was pulling before the brakes were done also. I was hoping replacing the brakes would resolve both the pulsing and puling but it still pulls towards the passanger side under moderate/hard braking.
Im leaning towards mabey LCA bushing, bad alignment or ball joint issue? Since Ive also just upgraded my suspension to Bilstein 5100s and Fj springs all around. Then got an alignment.
Anyone experience this? Or have any advice?

cheers

often if it pulls to one side even after you have eliminated the brakes as the problem then its only down to the control arm bushings giving way under load or the abs system has a stuck piston that only lets one side brake properly every time.

i chased this with my tacoma for over a year before finally discovering it was the abs system at fault. with that one, only once in a while, it would pull to one side when braking but then work good the rest of the time. then after about a year i started getting a hard pedal when braking which was when the abs piston would seize up on it rather then just not apply even pressure. once i replaced it i had no more issues.

unfortunately for us, our abs system are insane expensive even for salvaged used ones so try unplugging the abs and see if it still pulls to one side, if it doesnt..... start searching for a salvaged abs system, if it does then its control arms bushings

Forgot to mention ,all 4 tires are also brand new. Ill see if the ABS system is the culprit. Ill also rebleed the brakes again to rule that out. With 147K on the odometer it could be anything.
Thanks for the responses!:thanks:
