Uneven tyre wear!!

Replaced my front right tyre 5months ago and got tracking/alignment/wheels all balanced.
The car has always pulled to the left randomly. Alignment was all spot on. Garage couldn't find an issue with the steering.
Now the inner treads are almost bare and it's still pulling to the left sometimes quite heavily sometimes just a little.

Having done the tracking/alignment not really sure where to look next.

check your brake caliper that its releasing properly.
Is it hotter than the others?

I did think it was that. But brake pads are all fine. Calipers are fine just one is a bit noisy (metallic click when first engaging)

Something is amiss if you hear a metallic noise when you first brake. Does it happen to be the right front caliper?

The metallic click/clonk type noise presented every time the weight shifted from front to back. Turned out to be ball joint that had failed. Tyre wear seems to have reduced also. Will post back up later.
