Hi everyone, had a rear wheel refurbished after a tyre place scraped it whilst recurring a tyre. So rear driver's side has been on a jack/stand for around a week. Whilst they were doing the wheel I cleaned up the rear corner of the outrigger and painted it. Wheel done and i refitted, but the car now pulls quite hard to the left.

How can refurbing a rear wheel and a bit of painting cause this?

Fault found. Both my front tyres were flat at 14psi and 6psi!! and the refurbed rear was over inflated at 30psi. Supposed to be 22psi front and 24psi rear. I checked the fronts visually before posting this and they looked similar plus not that squashed like you'd expect for 6psi. Light car I guess. So now the question is how the heck did both my front tyres deflate in the garage!

Thanks All and well deducted those that said flat tyre, interesting on the handbrake cable crush though. Never thought of that happening.
