Hi Geraint
Tyres can cause the problem, especially if they are worn unevenly but tracking won't make any difference except to the tyre wear. If it drives straight under normal braking that is indicative of something worn in the suspension but if you brake hard it will tend to pull up straight anyway if your brakes are balanced.

Re: Slight pull to left
The wheel pulling indicates either the front caster or camber is out or the rear thrust angle isn't centred. You need a proper 4 wheel alignment after checking the suspension components and bushes.

Re: Slight pull to left
Uneven tire wear can cause that, like when you have fitted used tires or incorrectly rotated them.Geraint wrote:Hi all
slight, but definate pull to the left - any thoughts before I start investigating - recently passed the MOT
