model year?
if it only happens when braking inspect the left caliper that you removed. Is the flex line twisted? Are the pads installed correctly...some models have a dedicated inside and outside pad...the inner pad won't move properly if installed in the wrong position.

It is a 1995 Suburan. It is my Nephews 1st chevy. And it's almost a Basket case. I been pulling parts off my 1997 Silverado Z71. I donated my Allternater already. We replaced both sets of Tie Rods and just the other day we or "I" had to replace driver side Front Axcel. I looked up on You Tube how would be the easiest way to change. I did not remove or mess with the brakes. Now it pulls real hard to the Right. I told him not to drive it til we ask around.

Default just about me

The Tie Rods and Axcel we got new. Alternator and Brackets I took off my Sliverado. I told him he can pick at some other parts. Like the Seats, grill, and some of the Body parts that will work. I am a "CHEVY PEEP" but I honestly never mest with 4X4's.I had 3 Chevelles a 64 and 66 SS. 94 Camero. and a 1955 wrap around window truck. I do have a 1997 Sliverado the Tranny went out on it. I told him we can wheel n deal on parts.

if its not the brakes; a suspension or steering component may be loose and causing a directional change under braking forces. did it pull right before replacing the tie rods?

it will need alignment after tie rod replacement as the steering will be off-centre but it should not cause a brake pull.
