pull to the right, worse under braking?
My car pulls slightly to the right more so at slower speeds, and when braking it pulls much harder...
Anyone know what typically will cause this? (new pads+rotors did not change it, also has new ss brake lines and Both calipers compressed pretty easily, however the LEFT got a little tight towards the end). With the brakes seeming in good order I believe the problem is in my alignment and not my brakes.
So what alignment angles will cause the car to pull and pull harder under braking?

no I have checked temps with my personal palm gauge and they seem to be about the same after many different styles of driving

tire pressures are even too. These where my alignment specs from 3 months ago, may be off by now
Front camber -1.2* left -1* right
caster 2.5* left 1.75* right
Toe 1/8in out
rear camber 1.7* left and right
toe neutral

Theres the tell tale sign. Why do you think your caster is off by almost a degree from left to right? Your lower control arm bushings are worn. Replace and it'll fix it.

Re: pull to the right, worse under braking?
i do alignments.... a vehicle will always pull to the side with the shortest caster...typically youll see a 1/2 degree split between the two sides with the shorter caster being on the left side to compensate for the crown of the road ... you've either bent something or have a bushing that is bad....if your suspension checks out ok then you can try adjusting it by the radius rods to make up some caster
