Default Re: Pulling to the left when driving

While switching tires around check for wheel bearing wobble on the left side. And there's more if none of this works.
Or as Oledoc says, it could be a dragging brekae pad. After you drive for a while stop and see if the rotor on the left side is hot.

Spray water on it, do not use your hands.

It is a lesson you won't forget but who, beside me of course, needs to learn it the hard way.
