A pull could be caused by a problem with the front and/or back.

From your other thread, it sounds like the problem wasn't there before the pad replacement. Did you replace the caliper at the same time? Did you have the rotors replaced or resurfaced? When you replaced the caliper, did you fully bleed the air from the system?

Did you replace the brake hose going into the caliper?

My Blazer did the same exact thing, to the passenger side. i hadn't touched my front brakes since i got the beast, but i went and bled both front brakes and the pull pretty much disappeared after that so i'd greatly consider kyle's thoughts on this.
