Hi JOEYTEDDY2-JOEY@YAHOO.COM,

When steering pulls to one side, the most common fault would be loose steering linkages or bad control arms ball joints or bushes. Visual inspections would be required to verify what is causing it.

Abnormal tire wear is an indication of worn suspension components and you need to visually inspect to verify.

Wobbly feeling can be due to unevenly worn tires or worn steering linkages depending on the tyoe of wobbling.
