I've read so many threads like this lately; roads must be getting worse. lol.
Definitely alignment; I would have it done at dealer if you can get agood price; have them go over all the suspension pieces; they know what to look for.

I had the same problem with my 08, even after the alignment. I just bought some new Yokohama yk50 tires and that seemed to fix the problem. I no longer have to fight the wheel while driving or when stopping or starting.

Get a balance and alignment if your tires are good.
If they're worn out, replace the tires and then do an alignment.

that's camber if its just the very edge of the tire, could be toe as well, but it would be extreme wear across the whole tire..alignment asap.
