basically since i have had my car it has always pulled left when let go of steering wheel first of all we tracked it that didn't make any difference then i changed the wishbone as it looked a little bent helped a bit but does still pull left. have looked at sub frame and doesn't appear to be bent not 100 percent it aint tho. i have noticed that when on level ground the front right has a camber but the front left sits straight with a tiny bit of camber but both lowered the same amount. its really starting to wee me off as i don't know why it is doing it! .can anyone shine some light on the situation?!!!

Sounds like you need to set the camber up properly, quite easily done - loosen the two bolts that hold the hub to the strut and you can adjust the camber, then tighten them back up to lock it. Might take a few attempts of trial and error to get it right, but it's not hard.
You can do a reasonably good job with a spirit level if you've got a flat driveway, set them with a little bit of negative camber (5mm or so at the top of the wheel).
Once you get the camber sorted you'll need to get the tracking redone.

Yeah, if the camber isn't the same on both wheels the vehicle will pull to one side.
