    So it seems that my car is heading for a major breakdown (its just one thing after another) but I think I need an alignment, someone back me up.

    Story:
    I hit a metal "hole cover" that the DOT loves to use in GA but now when I turn left the steering wheel is less responsive and when I turn it back to the right the steering wheel stays a little crooked to the left. BUT when I turn right again it realigns itself and the steering wheel is straight again.

    Thanks for the help,
    Michael

    You probally just knocked it out of alignment, go have the alignment checked.

    Yeah I had plannd on it but it being Sunday and all I guess I have to wait until tomorrow. You think it is all right to drive on for a day or so? The wheels don't pull one way or another its just the steering wheel. Thanks for the reply
