...steal my car and burn it  . It is really doing my head in now. As of last week (thurs/fri) it has started pulling to the right, now i have checked all the tyre pressures and there fine, i do have different tread on but the tyres have been on for a few months now so i don't put it down to that, On saturday (just gone) i took it in to Kwick Fit, and they had it up on the ramps, and the tracking is spot-on. I have no idea what it could be  Im not that clever with cars tbf, anyone know what it could be? I haven't raced over speed-bumps, pot holes etc.

It could be that the wheel's bent a bit or maybe even the balancing weight has come loose or fallen off.

Most likely the tracking if kwik-fit said it was ok
Don't believe a word they say

Unless you've hit a large pothole or kerb it's pretty unliklry that your Track rod is bent

Fuck knows what bent my rod, it was either like it when I bought it or I did it without knowing.

sounds the more likely TBH, check if its hot after you drive it, try not to use the brakes for a bit, use the handbrake to stop.

It may be the camber of the road.

i was thinking that as soon as this bloke said it had a snapped spring, the guy at Kwick Shit, said he even had his manager over to inspect it, bullshit, tbh. Never going there again, bloody tossbags.

When I bought the corsa C it had a snapped spring. The garage MOT'd it and it only failed on the centre rear seatbelt
