Steering

[Cincinnati Guy]

When I am driving down the road in a straight line my steering wheel needs to be turned a little to the left to stay straight, the steering wheel will want to go back to the straight position if you let go of it, and will stay in that position. The problem being if the steering wheel is straight I am going into the ditch. Anyone know what the problem could be and what I should do to fix it? I understand the road crown but the problem is in my steering not the road, as I even have the problem in parking lots.

Sounds like you may need an alignment. Check your front tires for uneven wear.

I had the same problem. Sometimes it will go away if you swap front tires. In the end a front end alinement cured it. Not all front end shops are created equal. Ask around and find a good one. In my area there's only one shop I'd use. I went through four shops before finding them. They fixed it first try. Don't give up this is not normal and can be fixed.
