Need help with my stupid brakes!
Hey guys,
Here's the situation, I have a pretty severe brake pull which is to say that when I step on the brakes the car pulls quite hard to the right side. Now I know that you expereinced guys are already getting ready to type "caliper" or "front end" but keep reading....
I've gone over everything I can think of:
new left caliper
new pads (twice over)
check front end
check alignment
rotated tires
bled system
serviced slider bolts
remove shims and rattle springs
Also, flex lines are one year old and there are no pinched lines.
What makes it weirder still is that I took the car to the track yesterday, a track that particularly hard on brakes and flogged her pretty good and the problem WENT AWAY! On the drive there; brake pull, on the drive back; brake pull, but at the track, nufin'.
Suffice it to say, I'm totally out of ideas. Any hep would be greatly appricated. Thanks.

Is the parking brake still hooked up? Your rear brakes may be out of adjustment. You can try pulling the drums off, then adjusting them so that they just slip over the shoes. If you can get both sides close to the same, then you'll be in good shape.
