car pulling to the left
 
can anybody help me, the last few weeks i got a bad vibration coming through the steering. since then ive moved the front wheels to the back had them all balanced and the vibration has gone, but now the car keeps pulling to the left at low speeds, when you accelerate hard the pulling stops.ive checked all bushes and there ok.

it sounds like your tracking could be out get a lazor 4 wheel alignment done toe in and camber settings.

I have the same thing with my Maxda mx5 it pulls to the left. Got the alignment done but made no difference

brakes seizing on?

As above - sticky pistons possibly.

Could also be the tyre is wearing/has started to wear unevenly:(

This gives it more/less grip on one side than on the other, so it pulls, usually worse under accleration.

And the only cure is new tyres.

Can you put the ones that were on the front, back on the front, see if that cures the pulling?

if its vibration it will 90% be your wheel balance, this could also affect the above issue

stripped the caliper off today and found the back to pistons on the nsf caliper sezied solid, managed to free them off but its still sticking a bit. where is the best place to buy caliper repair kits from.
