Sorry not a scoob question my WRX is fine!

My runabout car golf GTI 1989 very recently acquired was veering off to the left at any speed over 30mph. Had the tracking adjusted which was quite a way out but the car is still pulling left. The car has been lowered considerably without matching dampers.
I understand that this can upset steering geometry?
The car doesnt appear bent but it also squeels as i corner

The inner tread on the front and rear tires on the left side has been scrubbed off from corrective steering (or the tires swapped around) any suggestions most welcome.

Is the front end of the car from the same car as the rear end?
