Car pulls way left all the time?
                    Hi,
My car always pulls to the left hand side of the road. For instance if i took my hand off the wheel it would hit a wall on the left in less than 3 seconds. I have had the car tracked and aligned, new bushes and all round new tyres. Any other ideas? Alloy wheel also in very good nik.
Thanks.

            Was just an example the wall.....I tend to save it before it hits it

and as for damage, the car has never been in any sort of bump to my knowledge and i got a mechanic friend to check for any sort of accident damage. Its in the body shop Friday for a good check over but I just wondered if there was any things i should look out for?0 -

well lamposts hurt too:D;)
no....... see what bodyshop says0 - 
            Well, where do I start, the wall example was a tad of an exaggeration however I was looking for a little advice on a car which pulls to the left (obviously, not that much as would cause a danger to myself or other road users). Thought I might get a bit of advise from those more mechanically minded than myself as to what to get looked at.0

i gave you advise albeit in a light hearted way
the bodyshop is the way forward0 - 
            All cars pull to the left to some degree. It's down to the camber on the road. It usually slopes towards the kerb.0

            I had a car that did this.
I swopped the tyres front to back, and side to side.
It was fine after.
No reason, all the tyres looked fine, they were all balanced, all non rotational, it just went away after I swapped them.
It's been fine on different tyres since.0
