My car goes to the left pretty bad when i take my hand off the steering wheel, i have to keep a constant pressure on it for it to keep straight. When my car is moving it also makes a swerving motion, it feels like the drivers side tire but we checked it and the lug nuts are tight, it feels as if they're barely on and its going like a quarter that you've spinned and its about to lay still you know weebly wobbly. I know i have a bad cv joint because its been making noise, but my question is, is this whats causing all of my problems or is my steering about to go alltogether with me driving down the road...i'd really prefer not to hit a tree if you know what i mean. Let me know what you think.

Many reasons why your steering is pulling,you say the tires have no signs of wear, but your cv shaft is making noises.Well then, get it replaced.Your brake caliper on the left side may be seizing is another reason for the pulling.Get to a repair garage asap.Or you can be left stranded somewhere and very, very soon.

Regardless of what these other jackasses say, it is most likely your tires. Granted, your tires are worn from the alignment, but none-the-less, your tires are causing the pull. So, for a temporary fix, switch the front tires from side to side.

It's more likely an alignment problem. You should have your mechanic check it out. Sounds like maybe a few bushings are shot also. Could be costly.

You need a front wheel alignment,or one of the tire is not balance.

You should get you car to a reputable mechanic and tell him of your problems. You may have front end parts that are about to fail. This can be quite dangerous.

It sounds to me as if your cv joint is just about to break. This car is in a DANGEROUS condition.

Could be worn out ball joint, wheel bearing, bent wheel, low air pressure (even if it LOOKS ok)...

Alignment you may need it or you have front end damage
