Question Alignment and coilovers

Ok.. i was just wondering, when I am driving, for my car to run completely straight, my wheel has to be slightly turned to the right. Is this an alignment issue? is it my rims? is it uneven tire wear? also, i plan on purchasing some coilovers soon and was wondering if this would make the problem worse, and would getting a 4 wheel alignment, after installing the coilovers, make it run straight?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

most the time this is occured is becouse one of your front wheels has more +- toe then the other one. an alignment should cure the problem. if not just make sure the wheels are straight take the steering wheel off and put it back on there straight.

Should be fixed if you get an alignment, if it still does it check to see if anything is busted. If you get coilovers def get an alignment after install.

is it a pulling feel or just something you have to do?

i could be alignment or tire wear/pressure.

its not really a pulling feeling, its more like something i have to do to make the car run straight, when i have the wheel centered, i start going slightly to the left

but thanks for the suggestions, ill get an alignment after i get my coilovers in and see if that fixes it
