get on the highway with a long straight away and release your hands from the steering wheel the car should stay going straight and after about 6 seconds should slolwy pull depending on crown in road.the other way is turn your wheel all the way to the left and look at the tread,if it wearing on the inside only or the outside only it's alignment issue,if it is not that noticable yet check for feathering in the tread on the inner and outer treads of the tire

if the tires are wearing out on the inside or outside edge, or if the car pulls to one side going downthe road then have the alignment adjusted
check tires for proper wear periodically, about once a month or so, or less maybe
they should be evnely worn across the entire tread of the tire
if not then theres a problem
a worn part or a bent part or something else bad
it can also be to the tire being under inflated however, so check that first
good luck

On a straight, level road your car should track straight ahead with almost no input on the steering wheel. (allowing for camber on the road surface) Also check all your tyres' tread depths. This should be the same across the road-contact area. If the tread depth is less on one side of the tyre then the alignment is out (set too far towards the other side).

Simple - in order to make your car go straight you steering wheel will be either to the left of to the right. When holding your steering wheel in the normal position the car will drift to the left of the right. Its easy to get your alignment check, just take it to Midas or something. It won't cost much to get it all fixed up! Good luck!

uneven tire wear or cupped tires, pulling to either side or crooked steering wheel are signs that your car is out of alignment. it doesn't take much to knock an alignment out of spec. hitting a pothole in the road is enough to do it.

You will see uneven wear on your tires. The car may pull or may act like it will go faster around a right turn than a left, or vise versa. Good luck.
