Focus Steering Help Needed
Hello, kinda new here so not sure if this is in the correct section.
I have a mk1 focus estate, when i bought it i had the change the alloys as they were bent, now the problem i have is the steering/alignment.
Up until this morning the car would drive in a straight line with the wheel straight but would pull to the left and get 'comfy' at about the 11:30 position, ive just been to have the steering 4 wheel checked & aligned, before they adjusted the tracking it was slightly out.
But now it drives straight when the wheel is sitting to the right (about 1 o'clock position) but will pull left back to the straight position by itself, however in doing this it causes the car to dive left.
I know someone on here will be able to help me, would really appreciate it as i dont like having my 4 week old daughter in the car whilst its not quite right.
Thanks in advance
Mike.

Now im more confused
