Default Flat tire of Bent Fork = Swerving?

I have a rim that is dent (on the lip) and doesn't hold air in the front. Would this cause the bike to swerve off to one side everytime you ride? Or would a bent fork do this? I am about to repair a rim but don't know if the cause of swerving is made by a flat tire or bent forks. I know this is asking the obvious but I'm just trying to see if repairing a rim would fix this. Because it is hard to tell right now if my forks are bent or not due to the upper fairing being off position
