Default Slight steering issue

Whenever I am driving down the road, if I drift to the right the car pulls hard to the right and every time I drift to the left it pulls hard to the left. Is this normal for an 2001 mustang gt or is something wrong with it? Its seriously like if I don't drive perfectly down the middle part of the lane I have a problem and I know its not the roads where I live because I drove it through a couple of states when I bought it. I normally drive an explorer and its never like this.

Not sure, I'll have to listen for it next time I drive.

I would get that checked out as soon as possible. You don`t want to become a traffic statistic, or be the cause of someone else becoming one.
