As another poster suggested it could just be road camber, because it's a pretty subtle effect, but combined with what you describe that seems to make perfect sense. It's just had a service, and the brakes are good (master cylinder got replaced). I was a bit worried it sounded like more serious front-end wear. > All can be checked at the same time.
