In most cases of pulling one way or another it is tyres ...
I've done the tyre trick Clan. But it was year ago. But I will try again

I've have told to replace several parts including tyres.
So far in the last 3 yrs i changed both wishbones, drop links, ball joints, checked, changed , greases brake parts,
rear lower control arm with power flex bushes, rear camber rod and bushes.


All are replaced because of its age and splits in the bushes.
Not sure how and how to diagnose this problem in sequence.
Done several allignments including hunters.
Mechanics these days (what i've seen), does not seems to know where to start with and giving me advise to change the parts randomly and not guaranteeing the job.


I checked the height of the suspension by wheel arch in a flat ground, it seems alright, i think.
Can some one point me in the right direction where to begin please.
Thank you.

heavy car will prob follow the road incline
