Thanks for the input & ideas everyone.
I check tyre pressure almost weekly- no issues there.
Previous owner of the wheels PM'd me & let me know he never hit a kurb or big pot hole etc and he experienced the same slight left hand pull (& there is not a mark on the wheels to suggest anything to the contrary) so that should eliminate buckled wheel.

I'll take it into wheels world and hopefully as kym suggested it will be castor...
If not, I don't suppose anyone has some lca's I could try before I shell out for some that I may not need?

ill give it a go, but i have to constantly hold the steering wheel right a few degrees to drive a straight line on any road...surely that's not a normal set-up. If i let go it turns left @ a similar rate you would when merging.

Rotate wheels left to right, check if it still does it? If so its not the wheel.

Not sure mate. Had the same problem previous 4wd (different i know) it was due to tyre size. Could be fixed in alignment set up but would get excessive wear on one tyre. Didn't believe the guy so drove on the otherside of the road and bang problem reversed so i dealt with it...... Two weeks later yellow sticker for tyre size
