Poor Vehicle Alignment Bad tie rods will allow the wheels to come out of alignment. Bad alignment can make your steering wheel shake, can make your car "pull" to one side and force you to make minute corrections to your steering constantly -- leading to a fatiguing drive.

What causes a car to veer to the right?
Wheel Alignment
This the most common cause of your car veering to one side. This happens overtime due to poorly maintained roads and hitting the curb. It's a good idea to periodically get a wheel alignment check for your vehicle at a service center and then have it realigned as needed.
Why is my car still pulling to the right after an alignment?
An aligned car can still "pull" to one side so the first thing to check is the air pressure in the tires. The car will pull to the side with the lower tire pressure due to the increased friction of the low tire. If this doesn't correct the pull, try swapping the front tires from side to side.
Can a bad wheel bearing cause car to pull?
Faulty wheel bearings can cause a vibration in your steering. It could also cause the vehicle to pull more toward one side. The steering feels “loose.” A broken wheel bearing will cause the steering to have a little more play which means it will feel looser.
