Pulling left when braking

What was it doing prior to the replacement? Was it pulling then? Does it only pull when braking? My first thought would be that the right hand caliper is not working properly and the left side is. Does it pull if you are driving straight and let go of the wheel? When were the brakes serviced last?

Good brakes and calipers. Drives straight. Was wearing inside of tire diagnosed as bad lower left ball joint. Replaced it. Now, when braking, at any speed, pulls to the left.

Was the tire replaced as well? As it also aligned after the replacement?
