Steering problem

Can anyone advise please? Not a lot of knowledge on these trucks over here in the UK!
My 2000 L pulls to the left at all speeds. Not so much that it would alarm you - just enough to make you not let go of the wheel ever. Even at less than walking pace it just veers slightly ft.
Have checked the usual suspects: Tyre (sorry, Tire!) pressures. steering toe in (laser checked), tire wear is even, steering joints all fine.

Is there anything else that might be affecting it that I should check?

cheers

Paul

Has it ever been in an accident? Also , if possible, have alignment checked with you or a person of equal weight in the driver seat. Specs change with an additional 200lbs added to one side of the truck.

Shows no signs of having been in an accident.

Good theory regarding drivers weight - I weigh in on the wrong side of 200lbs. I almost always drive it without passengers so have never checked to see if it changes with someone my size in the passenger seat.
Thanks for the tip. I'll let you know if it makes any difference!
