Nothing :'(
My car has very light power steering, and is almost effortless to turn the wheel. However it takes a noticable amount of effort to keep the car from pulling to the left. If i was to the let wheel go it would turn to the left up to about a quarter of the way (maybe a little less- cant really explain).
Does this just mean I need a wheel alignment? Or is there something seriously buggered with my front end, suspension has already been worked on (had the problem before and after the front suspension was worked on).
What could it be?

TT Supra/HZ Ute.
Tyre pressures and a front wheel alignment. That should solve it.

could also be the kind of roads u drive on e.g. if you drive on poorly maintained roads as they tend to have high camber and it will make your car pull left.

Your right,it can also have alot to do with the road camber.I also believe the balancing is done so as not to have your car swerve into on-coming traffic if you fall asleep at the wheel,so it is normal for the car to pull left a little,but not alot.
