Lots of play in the steering wheel-- why?

Hey Guys,
Just recently, I've noticed a lot of play in my steering wheel-- it feels very loose and too light. Also, the car is pulling to the left, and it's REALLY noticible. I had an alignment back in August, could it be time for another one?

If your car wont take a alignment then i would have your suspension checked out.

that is probably the thing i like least about my TL-S. the steerting isn't as tight as my Accord was! to me that is pretty strange. sometimes i have to wrestle with the wheel when i'm driving over a rough street and the front wheels are dancing back and forth. i'm thinking that might be a defect.
