New to flat tow

I bought a HHR that can be flat towed. When I drive down the road the car pulls to the left. Not real bad but noticeable. So will I have to worry about the front wheels cranking to the left. I have all winter to ponder this because we don't camp in the winter so hopefully someone can advise me on what to do. Good bye dolly!!

    Mine did it also. Pulled to Right slightly.
    A few times it did feel a little squirrelly towing, especial on wet roads.
    Front end place did alignment, no change.
    I had them swap front tires, then the pull was to the Left.
    New tires cured it.

    BTW, if you start looking at new tires and get sticker shock, PM me.

    Get the front end checked. Low press left front, alignment, HHR's are known for front strut wear out. They usualy make a thumping sound or creeking sound going over speed bumps or pot holes.I owned my 2008 hhr since new and now 53,000 they need replacing.
