i have come to the conclusion that after fittin new tyres, my tracking is out by a little bit, car is moving to the left with the steering wheel being straight, never used to do this b4 tyre change, i have no idea how tracking could have been affected...

question is could a damaged CV joint cause uneven steering?

more than likely the tyre pressures mate, track rod ends should never have been touched / disturbed when changing a tyre.

Check the pressures out and see how you go from there

Tracking will not be affected, swap the 2 front wheels side to side if the tyres are'nt directional.
