Opinions and advice welcome...
Discussion
Afternoon all, I find myself with some free time whilst sat on the balcony on holiday and I'm hoping you can offer some different opinions to a minor niggle with my chim that I can't seem to figure out.
It's pulling to the left slightly, at first I put it down to crap suspension, crap set up and crap tyres.
However now it has new shocks and springs all round, new track rod ends and steering arms, it's been properly set up at Neil garners and has new toyos all round and it still wanders to the left slightly.
The wheels are being refurbed this week so when I have the tyres refitted I'm going to try them on the opposite sides and see if that affects it.
I guess it could be chassis related, but how about ball joints and things like that, can they cause a pull?
Like I said any different opinions are welcome, it's only a minor thing really but if I can fix it then it's all the better for it.
Thanks for reading,
Russell.

Funnily enough I've done the driving on the wrong side twice already in the crapbox rental I've gotnand we've only been here two days!
Back on topic, it's too consistent to be road camber I feel, what does everyone else's cars do? It's been 6 years since I drove different tvrs on a daily basis so I can't remember.

Binding front brakes like a sticky caliper?
Rear brakes binding a bit?
Handbrake evenly set up and not too tight?
Diff in good condition?
Swapping wheels side to side a good idea.
Test the car on a flat car park like B&Q with no camber.
Go backwards, is it the same?
I'll test the brakes on my return, any ideas how I can test the diff? It doesn't whine or clunk. Rear brakes binding a bit?

Chilliwhizz I'm hoping when I get the tyres put back on the opposite sides to what they were then it'll show something, they are Toyos and all new a few months back so it shouldn't be crap/mismatched tread issue.
Qbee, I mate has just bought the same car as me and lives a mile down the road and works at the same dealerships me so swapping is definitely a possibility. Good idea and thanks for the offer.
Would you do all 4 or just fronts?
