Car pulls to the left - took to local mechanic and he measured the wheelbase - front driver to rear driver, same on passenger and front driver to rear passenger (vice versa). Bascially driver front is off by about 15 mm. He suggested replacing the driver strut.
Did notice the gaps between strut on driver versus passenger is off about 1/2".
