My 2006 MX5 was pulling to the left a little. I took it to one of the specialists recommended here. He freed off and replaced brake callipers, replaced anti roll bar supports and did the tracking. He says that bushes etc are fine

The problem is that the car now pulls sharply to the left and when braking at slow speeds the steering wheel turns itself left. Always to the left, independent of the road camber.
I need to turn the wheel about 10 degrees clockwise to maintain a straight line

I'm really unhappy. Does anyone have any ideas before I take the car back?

The car has never been crashed and has done less than 60k. Well maintained. Driven fairly gently.

It sounds the n/s caliper is sticking could be a faulty new caliper that has been fitted most aftermarket calipers are re manufactured so you do get the odd one that's faulty they should replace it under warranty no problem
