Hi
I have a 2007 Malibu with what I think has an alignment problem. First of of all, holding the wheel perfectly straight the car drifts to the right. To go straight I have to hold the wheel slightly to the left. Funny thing is the wheels look straight when the steering wheel is centered. Also, sometimes from a stop, if you let go of the steering wheel and hit the gas the steering wheel will go turn left slightly (very noticeable though) and then return to center as speed increases.
It also doesn't seem very consistent. Rarely when holding the steering wheel straight the car goes straight and other times it want to drift right like mentioned.
Does this sound like a regular alignment problem? I have been under the car and everything looked tight. Last time I looked though [it may have been in my head] but I think the drivers side tie rod may have been been bent VERY slightly. Is this a possible cause?
