Car pulling left and right

My car has an issue of pulling left and right and relatively low speeds, although the road camber has the effect it seems way to sever in the way its pulling and really fights against me.

It failed it's MOT in Dec on front wishbones bushes so those were replaced and I thought some new rear tyres that were almost worn and a full alignment setup along with the new bushes would solve the issue but it has not...

The front tyres are quite old, probably only 3mm or so left and have very slightly more wear on the outer edge on the NS tyre, presumably from misalignment.

I also find that the car needs correcting at high speed, 60mph+ mid corner can either start pulling inwards or out and does not feel very seated.

In summary:
New front wishbone bushes
Full alignment done within correct values
New GY eagle F1 rear tyres non RF (previous tyres were same pirelli as the front)
Pirelli front tyres around 3mm left non RF

Also of note, that sometimes in reverse at full lock the fronts can make a strange grinding/scraping noise, but having searched this some others have the same issue.

Is there anything else I can try or should I just replace the front tyres and see the result?

Thanks
 
I replace my front tyres at 3mm as I can feel the drop in performance - it is well worth trying that before any other work - Zeds are very susceptible to tyre tread depth and pressures.

After that you had better have a search on the forum regarding sticky steering - quite a common issue.

Good luck.
