Didnt you and Mannix just change spring/shocks?? Well, either way, drive the car 
to where the wheel is straight again. Then stop the car ahd get under and crank 
down your cambeer bolts! all 4. This happened on my Scirocco and after I cranked 
the camber bolts down tight, it stopped doing this. One wheel is changing camber 
on you ever so slightly which in turn, makes your wheel a bit sideways and makes 
the car pull a little too, doesnt it? 

Well, thats my best guess. HTH!
