front camber WILL make the car pull right or left if the camber is uneven.

when a wheel cambers it wants to turn, just like a bicycle. if one wheel has more camber than the other then it will pull one way or another. - camber will cause the wheel to pull inward and + camber will cause it to pull outward.


toe in or toe out on any wheel can cause pull as well. front toe will cause a more abrupt pull than rear toe. front toe will feel like the car wants turn itself and driving straight is pretty hard. rear toe issues will feel like the steering wheel is just off center and it wants to fade from one lane to the other slowly.
