Hi Sam,

Sounds like you need a wheel alignment done, this would happen with or without power steering.

Is one of the tyres worn?

i.e. Front left or right?

certaintlly....if u say wheel alignment......it will only steer the car in a certain speed.ie about 30 mph..........but this seems to happen even like 10mph............if u know wot i mean........both front tyres are worn equally........

definatly tracking mate.

the car will pull at all speeds. one or both your wheels will be pointing in the wrong direction, when you get it tracked up they will be pointing in the wright direction so the car will hold a staight line.
