Nice decipher.
If my LCA was knackered would that be the reason the car pulls to the right also?
Any idea where I can get right LCA now days? I'm in Perth W.A

yes, whatever is causing the tyre to be that far back is causing the pull to one side.

Take you tyre off and look. You can probably see what's wrong. Or take soem pics and put them here.

Strangely I went and bought 4x new tyres and got them balanced. The car still pulls to the right but no where near as bad. It drives heaps better...

Good on ya. My alignment shops wouldn't work on the car if the tires were in bad shape.

any idea of an easy way to stop front tyre rubbing back of wheel arch? now the car drives ok I dont want to mess with struts etc...
thinking maybe panel beating?

That's masking the problem. Do it right. Either get new castor bushes or then get struts.
Take to your local pedders and get that $14 suspension check. Or you local friendly mechanic

I feel like I'm belting my head against the wall.......

Is that the only thing your beating???

No.
There are other things......

BeeJJ I could tell you exactly what needs to be replaced if you bring it by my house so I can look at it. Otherwise you can inspect it or have a shop inspect it. This type of symptom requires inspection.
