2006 BMW 530i pulls to the right
I bought brand new rims and tires. The car was running perfectly for a while, but now it is pulling to the right while driving. I have to steer left a little bit to keep car running straight.
Since the problem started I have done alignment twice swapped my front left with the front right with 0 effect. My mechanic cannot find anything wrong, but I know there is a problem which annoys me to no end. Any ideas what I should be looking at.
Thanks.
