   Im not quite sure whats going on but from time to time my sax likes to pull to the right, ive had a guarge look over her, checked drive shafts, tyres/pressures, wishbones etc etc, everything seems tiptop and working perfectly fine with no wear or anything, even replaced pads/discs etc thinking they might of been sticking or something..
   
   Its not all the time its just every now and then she will want to pull and keep pulling to the right, i have to hold her straight until she stops pulling..
   
   Its pissing me right off now, and the guarages ive taken her to cant seem to find why she is doing it... maybe there just shit?
   
   Anyone have some kind of idea as to why she might be forcefully pulling to the right when the mood takes her?

   Does it get worse/happen under braking?
   Get the front wheel alignment checked,

   Get the tracking checked as said,it could also be a sticking caliper on that side.

   Tyre would be my first port of call. Have u had the one on the right replaced recently (front or rear?) other than that tracking or maybe proportioning valve.

   Nope perfectly fine under breaking - this was my first thought so had pads/discs replaced.

   Could possibly be a sticking caliper, have the day off tomorrow so will take her back down guarage i guess.. more money thrown away if they still cannot find the problem.
   
   Im pretty suer they checked caliper etc when replacing discs/pads, the right rear tyre is a little low others are fine.
   
   Ill just get guarage to look over everything, calipers, drive shafts, etc etc blah blah blah.. its not a majour issue its just bloody annoying
