Uneven side to side camber may cause

Unequal camber from side to side changes how each tire sits on the road, so they don’t share the road grip evenly. Camber affects the tire contact patch, and when left and right camber aren’t equal, one tire can have more or less effective contact than the other. That creates a net lateral force as the car moves straight, so the vehicle tends to pull toward the side with the weaker/less effective grip.
