Several mechanics can not figure this out.
My van pulls to the left everytime I brake. It drives perfectly straight when not braking. The steering wheel is also straight. 2-3 times when i brake it felt like i was sliding on oil-- real weird. My passenger tire keeps wearing down on the outside of the tread.
My father said to change the brakes and the calipers. So I did. It did not solve the problem. It still pulls real hard to the left. The rotors looked great. Even the old brakes i changed looked great and even.
What could be the problem?

you need to study mechanic to give a real answer so that is exactly what I'm gona to do now
there is a few things you have to replace, first one make sure when you mount the calipers... they has some small cylinders where the caliper moves on those things has to be well lubricated and clean when they are bad, caliper don't apply correct force to brake pad making your wheel turn to right or left
if those thing are right... you might have something more expensive to fix.... the brake lines that goes out of the brake pump goes to a part with many others brake lines that thing is the brake distributor that thing distribute equal brake force to all brakes in the car when this get bad the brake fluid don't go equally to calipers
and last one you don't mention if your truck has ABS if so.... I'm sad to told you but the abs module can be bad and this is a really expensive fix
so the others guys are only guessing

There is a flexible brake line that goes from the car frame to the wheel that may be blocked on the RIGHT side and not allowing the brakes on that side to work as well as the left side.
It could be the proportioning valve too. But I'd check the flex line first.

A brake solenoid?

Have you inspected the rear brakes, especially the right rear, for operation and a possible oil seal leak. Also an inspection of the front control arm bushings and ball joints might turn up something.

if your having outer wear on your tire pattern then you either have a bad tie rod end or a bad ball joint,also if you have two different tire patterns on the front that will cause it to pull hope this helps

CHECK THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES, COULD BE RESTRICTED AND IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM, FLUSH OUT THE COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM.

flush the system if that doesn't work then change the solenoid
