Hi,
Recently my car has been pulling to the right quite badly when driving at any speed, went and got the tracking and balancing done yesterday. However its still pulling to the right. My brake pads are slightly grinding, not sure if this is anything to do with it at all? If not any other ideas?
Thanks.

You could have a knackered brake caliper. go for a normal drive (no harsh braking) then check to see if you can feel a lot of heat coming off one of the brakes. One should be signficantly hotter than the other
