   Just got my first saxo last week and it is pulling to the right.
   I noticed the drivers side rear wheel was was leaning in to the car and and the inner half of the tyre tread is worn.
   
   Does anyone have any ideas what the cause might be and if its an easy fix?

   I think you need a new rear beam/axle.

   Your axle chances are is knackered buddy.....The bearing wear out and damage the stub pins.
   
   Best fix imo is getting a refurbished axle

   The previous owner had told me he replaced the beam.
   If it is the beam is it costly?

   the term "tyre kicker" jumps to mind, shame you didnt spot any damage when you looked over the car before buying it mate, did you get receipts with the car for work the previous owner claims to have done?

   Depends where you get the beam from but your prob looking at a couple of hundred quid
