Car still pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel what could it be? Is it possible that if the tracking is right but the steering rack was not dead centre this could cause it to pull to the side? Other than that I really don't know :/

if u have wide wheels it could be following the dips and the camber on the road

i had this problem checked the tracking and everything but it still pulls alittle on a normal road but when i go on a road that is flat and smooth it doesnt pull

Ive already tried this, i went to a carpark, tried it at different speeds, stopping and starting, checking what its like under load and i found that when i stop and put it in reverse, the steering wheel pulls the opposite way :S i am very confused haha, ive been told to check for play in the steering rack mounts so im going to do that tomorrow when i can see

Does it pull violently to the right or just slightly?
Theres a few things that could possibly be the cause such as unlevel front suspension, when the tracking was done it was done incorrectly, wheel not sitting correctly on the hub, etc.

It is quite a harsh pull to the side, I think it's just not been centred properly before the tracking has been done, I think they just pulled it on the ramp and made sure the steering when was level. I shall have to adjust it myself then take it back for a tweek, they said they would do it free

Are your brakes alright? A caliper could be seized slightly and not retracting fully, causing it to pull maybe.
