Default brakes

Had a better description, but can't post properly. Pulls to the right after changing brakes, rotors and bearings. Why?

Wile driving it pulls slightly to the right. While braking it pulls sharply. Also the left side squeals slightly. Possible caliper not compressing properly on the left?

Also did not have torque wrench to tighten hub nuts. But pretty sure I tightened them evenly and then backed them off 1/4 turn. Possible that they were not tightened evenly? Would that cause the above problems?

alignment? My alignments off a little to the right and it pulls when i break, also when i turn right i can hear the left side squeeling a little, though I dont know if the squeel is from the alignment issue.

Did you clean the slides so the calipers move freely?

And maybe the piston is stuck and you need a new caliper

I'll check the slides tomorrow. I also was thinking the piston was not working. Will also check tomorrow. The thing is that it never did this before the replacement so it must be something I did.
