My alignment is like way off after all four tires were replaced. My steering wheel used to be in the center when driving straight. Now it is tilted to the left in order for the car to go straight. If I let go of the wheel the car will start going to the right on its own.

Hello my name is Dave.

My first question is, if you put new tires on the car or bought used ones? Either way it sounds like a tire issue, that is the most common cause of a pull like you describe. My suggestion would be to change tire position on the front tires, out the left on the right and right on the left. If after doing this it still pulls the same as before then we can move on to other possibilities, however if it pulls in the other direction that shows that it is a tire issue and you can contact the place you purchased the tires and hopefully they will make it right for you. Please let us know the results and thank you for using 2CarPros.
