    don't know then mate, if u think it is veering left and doesn't sit right i would have a good look underneath at the upper/lower control arms, struts, steering rack etc. look for any damage or better yet get someone who knows a thing or 2 about the cars and see what they think. Sounds like theres a problem with something in the region.
