it could be a number of things- tire pressures wrong, diff tires on each side,bad ball joints or tie rod ends, or your car was previously hit bad and the subframe of the car is bent.

check your tires first, and if its not them, id recommend taking it to an alignment shop.

Probably needs an alignment, or maybe you need new tie rod(s)

Well mine does that when the road is bad. The tires track a path in the road and sometimes pull to the side, but i don't know if that means something is wrong [&:]

plus one, if u havent had it aligned recently i would do that first.... its check and easy fit, dont over look it... that is assume u have the same tires and they have the correct amount of air... then get it aligned... id that doesnt work there you goin to get into a lotta PITA **** to fix
