have you checked the driver's side?

If the passenger side calipers work and the drivers side are seized, the car will pull to the left.

if your brakes are sticking one side and the wheel will be noticably hotter aswell, could be worth a check

Im guessing GEO....

Going to get mine done this month. anywhere good and cheap in london?

I hadn't checked my tire PSI since I got the car in June... They always looked hard enough....

Front 13PSI
Back were 20PSI

Car felt fine though as only drive around london!
