pulling to the right at constant speed 850

Good day everyone.

After 2 or 3 hours of driving on the highway at constant speed the steering wheel will pull to the right a little over 1/16 of one turn. It'll do this at the rate of the speed we're going. If we're going 70 it'll feel like more of a pulsing vibration that pulls the car to the right. If I'm coming to a stop, the pulls will slow as the car slows. It won't do it if I'm accelerating. It won't do it if I'm coasting. Once it starts doing it, I can make the car do it if I hold speed steady on flat roads or use cruise on flat roads.

A tech and I figured it was the ABS because I also keep getting a faulty brake pedal sensor error on that computer. So yesterday when it began doing this I pulled into a gas station and removed the ABS fuse. The ABS light on the dashboard came on but the problem persisted.
If removing the fuse (ABS main supply) completely disengages the ABS from doing anything, then we can rule it out, right?
If it isn't the ABS, is there a way the transmission can be delivering power to the wheels unequally and causing it to do this?

Ideas anyone?
