Is there a vibration with it that as you increase your speed increases aswell cos it could be a slack wheel bearing

You will hear wheel bearing when turning left on full lock
check the tyre pressure. this wiil cause the car to pull. But most of the time its tracking .I did have a seized caliper when I changed it
still pulls to the left
