[mkiv] Car pull to the right

[thumps00 at gmail.com]

Yes, I checked the pressure. First thing I thought of...the pull has
been going on for quite some time, and I usually check pressures once
a month.

My only idea right now is the tire...I will try to swap front tires
and see if that makes a difference.
