Question:

new brake system only applies one brake?

I recently replaced the master cylinder, calipers, pads, rotors, and brake fluid on my 1992 Jeep Cherokee. I have bled the system 4 times since then, so Im sure there is no air in the system, however only the left brake feels like it is working, it‘s not very evident until I apply them hard then it pulls to the left. Is there something that I didn‘t do or messed up?

Answer:

The slave cylinder on one wheel needs new seals or is shot, or a brake line is plugged. Probably the cylinder.
possibly a bad brand new caliper on the right side or try replacing the brake hose on that side as it might be collapsing.
May be that you have a collapsed flexible brake line to one of the calipers. If you replace, replace both of them.
