camber of the road?, try driving down the wrong side of road, see if it pulls to the right

if its easier to turn left than right ,it has a steering bias, then the torque module needs resetting, dealers may tell you it needs a column(i am assuming it is a b or c with epas.this i can rectify in situ IF yhis is the case please leave a private message.

as said, driveshaft is shorter on the gearbox side, so it will always pull that way

its more likely to be tyre pressures though, check them, i reckon the nearside front will be down

tracking and camber WILL NOT cause a pull, pressures will

Its called torque steer mate! Shorter drifeshaft, maybe a thicker one on that side also, it doesnt twist as much, plus its shorter so it transmits the power different to compared to the other side! Plus the shorter shaft creates a different angle as it goes into the cv joint and transmits power completely different.

My 20xe got through tyres quicker on the g/box side.

But it can also be due to tyre pressures, worn bushes, fewked engine mounts. But id say more than likely its what valvers do in corsa's!? My old corsa did the same.

when i am driving along my car is fine and will travel straight - when i accelerate whether it be a light aceleration or heavy aceleration my car pulls and drifts off to the left ?

does this mean my left wheel is pulling more than the right, i honestly dont have a clue what the solution to my problem could be, my tracking and camber have just been set so i am assuming they are nothing to do with it

the car is a 20xe corsa B on coilovers - not that this should make any difference ?
