Default Xjr pulling left.. Tracking?

I've finished putting my jag back together,
Every joint and bushing is new now and I had it tracked, but its still pulling to the left,

Do my measurements look like they would cause the car to veer to the left or should I be looking elsewhere?

The 2 easiest things to do...

1) Make sure all tire pressure is good. Don’t assume it was already done before the alignment.
2) If the tire pressure was good, rotate the two front tires side to side. See if it still pulls left.

I did check the pressures and flip the tires around, no difference unfortunately.
Doesn't seem to be affected by different roads, a constant pull if you let go of the wheel.

Did you have all the ball joints and bushings replaced because the car was pulling left prior to all the work done?

No pulling beforehand, just rebuilt both subframes with all new parts, everything torqued up to spec ect
Obv tracking was way out afterwards, had it set up at an alignment shop, much better but the pull is there

Does all new bushings include the "vee mounts" and the front subframe rearward bushings?
