Pulling to the left



  172 (2001 build)
Hi folks,
A couple of weeks ago I hit a high kerb with my front left wheel. The tyre burst and the alloy was dented. I have put on a replacement alloy, 2 new front tyres and had the wheels balanced and aligned.
After that I noticed that the car pulls to the left, particularly noticeable at higher speeds on motorways. At higher speeds (above 70) the steering also feels a bit too "loose". The car seems to lack grip.
I took it back to Kwik Fit for alignment, but the issue persisted. So I took it to Renault for a thorough check. They say they can't find anything wrong with it, so all they did was align the wheels again.
The problems is still there.

Any ideas?

swap the wheels around and see if it makes any diff. Mine was doing this for a while, still does it a bit. I had a very slightly buckled front left wheel, swapped it with the rear wheel and handling improved a bit!!
