Bad Caliper?

I had a really bad pull when I had a bad lower ball joint. Only way I could tell it was bad is that I would get a random creek or pop from it at times. Once replaced the brakes stopped pulling.
 
Other than replacing the brake lines, the only way that I know of to strike the brake lines off the list, is to use a tool ($) made for this. This tool is extremely hard to find.

The biggest problem I had with brake pulls on Mark VIII's came from a bad "lower" control arm. When you get it doing it regularly, back up real fast and hit the brakes. If the wheel pulls the other way, my bet would be on the lower control arm.

I just replace the control arms, upper & lower, and sway bar link. When I replaced the caliper the box has a trouble shooting guide the said a pull would be caused by the rear brake but I just rplaced the rear calipers 8-9 months ago. I'm planing to replace the front hub and bearings this weekend, I was planning to check the lube on the caliper guides to make sure they're not binding......sound viable
