Wheel pulling - Toyota Yaris Forums

Experienced alignment guy here. Step one is to swap your front tires from L to R and try it again. If it leads the other way (or just changes) it's time for new tires. Most leads, unless you have hit something, are caused by tires. If you don't notice a difference, then it's time for an alignment check. Leads are caused by camber/caster angles (or setback). If the angles are not even enough L to R (typically around 0.5°) you will get leads. It's also possible it's brake drag on one side, but you'd probably notice other symptoms of that by now.

Cheers.
