If its pulling to the right when braking your left caliper is frozen or binding up.

Have your rotors checked. Does the steering column have a vibration too?

Sounds like an alignment and brake problem to me.

no vibrations, and the alignment shop said it was dead on. maybe brake lines?maybe one got pinched when they lifted it?

A tire will also cause the problem. Have them swap tires left to right and see if it starts pulling the other way.

Sounds like the caliper is not releasing completely. This could also be the result of a damaged brake hose. If the hose is damaged internally, it will not allow the caliper to completely release.
