Brakes Problem!!

Hi all!

I have an '89 1500 it has covered 25000 miles. My problem is that after being stored for a year the front brakes are way out of balance. If you push hard on the pedal the car goes to the right. We changed both calipers and checked to see how much fluid comes out of each side when the bleed nipple is open. Under pressure the same amount comes out both sides, this kind of rules out the master cylinder. The only thing we can notice is that the flexible brake hose on the passenger side swells when braking, the dirvers side does too, but no where near as much. Going to change those this weekend!

Before I through more money at it I was just hoping that someone here had been in my postion before.

Thanks in advance!!
