Mysterious pull to the left

Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I'm still struggling trying to find out exactly what's causing this slight pull to the left on my car. It pulls left during normal driving and gets worse under braking.

I have gone to several mechanics and no one can figure out the problem. One suggested alignment, but the alignment pros said that it was properly aligned.

My driver's side tire (just bought 6 months ago) is already showing excessive wear on the outer rim but the passenger side's one is O.K. (possible a bit worn there as well, compared with the rears. The tires I replaced months ago were worn bald on both outer rims on the front)

I also sometimes hear a slight squealing noise when making right turns, but I thought it might be the belt.

One mechanic said it could also be the lower control arm bushings ($$$!) that haven't been replaced yet (I did the uppers last year)

Any ideas ???

thanks,

AARON ROCHARD
