How much free play in the wheel before it starts to turn? If its more than 2" you might try adjusting the sector pre load.

Have you changed the left tire to the right side and right to left, to see if it pulls to the right after changing? If it pulls the other way then you have a bad tire on the front.

Yes mate , i have done a front to back , left to right , the only thing that i have changed was the left hand wheel hub , but can not remember if that was when it started , it feels like a weight problem or a power steering box problem.

Jack the front uo so both tires are off the ground. Now try turning the wheel both ways. Is one way easier than the other? If so, it is the box.
