My s2 does that its annoying I know elite set my car up they have good lazer tracking tools. When u put your put ya pedal to the metal does your car straighten up, please some correct me if I am wrong but it might be the thrust angle

When I floor it the car wants to go left a lot more - doesn't straighten up at all. What's thrust angle?

either that or check your wheel bearings as mine does the same thing and pulls to the left, jacked the car up and rocked the wheel and and theres movement so, that segusts to me bearings are knackered

My front left wheel bearing has some play in it and i can hear a rumble from it, but would a worn wheel bearing cause my car to pull left?

Ok so have have changed both front wheel bearings and car STILL pulls to the left ..... I'm thinking that the tracking wasnt set right, they put gauges on my
Front wheels to adjust toe, can you adjust camber? Could it be anything else?

If pulling left under power check your engine mount and gear box mounts for wear. Wheel bearings will not cause it to pull to either side.
Camber is not adjustable.
