Actually you could have a number of problems, that need to be gone thru to make sure what the final trouble is. First have the rims inspected to make sure they are not bent, and check the balance of the tires with an inspection to make sure there are not any slipped belts damage to the tires. Then inspect the brake rotors. A warped rotor can give some vibration, usually most noticable when the brake pedal is lightly pressed. Now the final bit about holding the steering wheel slightly off center could suggest that a tie rod end is bad, so have those inspected as well to make sure. Tie rod failure could put you into a headon collosion, so play it save and have it checked out. Good luck

guidance wheel shaking has now not something to do with changing your oil. If the motor vehicle isn't pulling/drifting left or magnificent any diverse than it used to, it extremely is in all likelihood now not alignment the two. if it does it on any form of highway floor, it in all likelihood isn't ask your self absorber or suspension suitable. i'd desire to lay odds you have a tire difficulty. look at your rims heavily to be sure if there are any marks the placement a wheel stability weight became and characteristic been given knocked off. if so, have the tires rebalanced. additionally, look at them heavily for bulges interior the tread or sidewall, the cords indoors the tire could be commencing up as much as fail. despite the fact that if a tire is definitely balanced and seems suitable, it would desire to even with the reality that have invisible matters, and you're able to rotate your spare tire which incorporate your 4 tires one after the different until the area is going away, then you definately will comprehend the placement to concentration your activity.

Shimmy or vibration is a ROTATIONAL PROBLEM. Alignment has to do with suspension angles and struts, tie rods and control arms don't rotate.
Thus, it is not an alignment problem.
You either have a bent wheel or more likely, a front tire that is dangerously ply-separated and in need of immediate replacement.

absolutely nothing to do with alignment. 4-wheel balance will likely take care of it. if not, check for wheel bearing play

get it checked out, check lugs, if not lugs you are near failure point of a ball joint or tie rod end. either one failing will leave you stranded.
