the wheels spin fairly easy, the front ones bit harder - they still do around 1.5-2 turns after I let go, so I think they are OK.

I tried doing 70mph and turning engine off (was rolling with only ignition ON) to see if steering rack has leaking seal or something (not entirely sure if this is how it works) so that when pump stops spinning the effect should go away. Unfortunately it didn't. The pull was still there. Unless there is something else about the steering rack it must be brakes related.

May worth to add that if I am in the second lane out of two (which means second lane has slight angle to the left) the car then drives straight! In other words, if car is tilted so that right wheels are lower than left, car goes straight..

Not sure if the steering rack can still be causing this or brakes related.

I do have VSA light off after setting off each time - I had two second hand units already due the common issue with the ABS block. Can this be causing it? I'd be surprised..

Going 70 mph and turning off the engine will not stop the engine from rotating especially if it is in gear
Tranny will continue to push the engine to rotate which will continue to move the power steering pump
If in neutral then different story.

Could it be a suspension issue?? Cause the tilt in the road allows it to run straight??

It was not in the gear and clutch disengaged, so engine was not turning at that point.

Not much of suspension left really, I put new both arms, new ball joints, new track rod ends, second hand struts, second hand callipers. So unless subframe is bent (which I doubt, because if it was, then the pull would be constant, while in my case it's more random) it has to be either steering column or brakes related.. That's my thinking
