This is for my cousin, basically when he presses the accelrator the car goes off towards the right lets off and it comes back straight, he has missmatched tyres on the front so is it a possibility that could be the cause ?
What else could it be, checked tyre pressures all ready
Cheers

but tracking would that not make it pull all the time, this kinda of pulls more when full throttle is applied.

He said it also feels a bit "loose" when turning to the left and you hit like a bump or something, hes in rugby so cant really look at it myself..

worn suspension
unmatched tyres
tracking out
worn lower arm bushes
loose bolts somewhere?
brakes binding
start with the tracking, if there are other faults causing it the garage should find them. also look at power steeing if it has it (especially EPAS, these do this a lot)
