Sealed bearings are cheap, and yes, it seems reasonable that a bad bearing or sticking brake could cause the trouble. If you place the front and on a jack stand and remove a shock, you'll note that there is no bumpsteer in the useable range.

BTW, how could you adjust caster? I only have a provision for camber and toe on ours.
Oops, your right! It is only camber you can adjust with the threaded ball joint rods, I was mistakenly using the term caster/camber. I had the toe in set pretty much at 0 and the camber set at a right angle to the floor and it still takes off sideways to the left. Bears further investigation. Gotta say though, bikes are easier to set up... A lot less adjustments .
