Default Move to the left

I've recently noticed my 75 pulling slightly to the left. Is this likely to be pothole damage? Any other likely solutions? Would welcome advice.

Have it four wheel tracked, that should sort things out.

Check tyre pressure first. Binding brake? I assume the pulling is not under braking but normal driving.

road camber does play a big part with these cars, as they do have a natural tendency to pull to the left or right depending on the camber side. uneven tyre pressure is an issue , especially on the front. if the tracking is out then it wont be long before uneven tyre wear is pretty obvious. tyre pressure check would be my first port of call though.

Get the front end jacked up if possible and check for play in the track rod ends, if there is any when pushing the wheel left to right you make here a sligh clunk, it will be louder on the side that is failing/failed.

If both outer track rods seem tight, check there isn't any play in the inner track rod where it connects to the steering rack.

(I need to do mine its how I found this out )
