Alignment problem?

Hey guys,

When I am driving my steering wheel tend to turns to the right. Its not something I cant keep straight but it gets annoying. At faster speeds it will turn a little bit more. Not sure if its just a wheel Alignment problem or what.

The only way for you to find out if it's a alignment problem is to just take it to a shop.

Check your tires to see if they look evenly worn. Check tire pressures.

Try getting on the freeway and trying different lanes, when in the far left it should slightly drift left. Likewise on the far right it should slightly drift right. This is called following the crown of the road. Most roads are not perfectly flat, they're humped in the middle for water drainage, your vehicle will naturally follow this crown. The effect is more noticeable on a vehicle with wide tires.

If it pulls to the right, I would have it aligned and the tires checked (check for abnormal wear which could cause pulling).

When I worked for an a Acura dealer's service dept., I would have to go on test drives all the time and explain/show people on the freeway.

I recall that happening before when I was on the freeway left side. But because I usually don't go on the freeway I wouldn't be sure. I will go on the freeway tomorrow and see thanks.
