a) replace the worn tire with a good one, as an unevenly worn tire will make the car pull to the left anyway.

b) get an alignment. Without doing it there is a very good chance that you are pulling to the left due to a bad alignment.

c) If you brake and it pulls to the left, then that is brake related. This is a second problem, so you need to fix the first problem and then tackle the second one afterwards. To tackle this one, first change the pads, look at the rotors and either put them back if they are good, turn them if not, or replace them with new ones. Then road test again to see.

d) If you suspect bearings, you should jack the tire up and try to rock the tire back and forth:

1. If there is left/right play while rocking then the tie rod ends could be bad.

2. If there is up/down play while rocking (one hand on bottom, one hand on top) then the bearings could be bad.

Hope this info helps!
