When i picked up my MY96 sti in june it had a SLIGHT pull to the left. Put it into National Tyres and my mate did the tracking(on the side!!!). It came back to me with a NIGHTMARE of a pull to the left!! I meen REALLY bad. It goes round corners itself!
Took it back, got it done again and it was the same.

Took it to get all 4 wheels Laser tracked the other day. All wheels exept the front N/S is spot on. The guy just couldnt get the camber to straighten up!!

He couldnt tell why because he would have to take things off to see what the problem was.

Any sugestions?

Could something be bent or damaged?

Front n/s(the problem wheel) -1.14(well in the red)
Front o/s -0.35
Rear n/s -1.46(but in the green)
Rear o/s -0.43

Hope this helps.
