why does it do this? tracking is fine, tyres have been swapped over side to side and front to back.
anything else needed to be checked?

this happens to mine as well, check the indicater cancel to see if the steering wheels is central with the steering rack. if thats ok then ull probably have to adjust ur track rods a little bit. its hit and miss really tho, and ull need to get ur trackin done again.

Its meant too slightly, this is so you dont veer into the oncoming traffic, the camber of the road can affect this dramatically tricking you into thinking there is a major problem when really there is not

^ Mine favours the left too. I think this is to do with having over-sized alloys fitted.

if i let go the wheel when driving slow of course it will go straight for a good bit then ver to the left. its the camber of the road. They are sloped to the left to let water drain from them.

Check if the tyre-wear is evenly if not then there is a big chance its your tracking!

its a design issue.....
if you fall asleep.... would you rather hit the side of the road, or veer into on coming traffic

when travelling at 70mph, do you normally find pedestrians at the side of the road?
i havent known many folk to fall asleep driving through bust town traffic
