check your tyre pressures first, check your wheels are secure, then take it to a garage, as if its a steering problem it needs to be sorted a.s.a.p

It could be your tracking or maybe the bearings in your tyres may have gone (however this is usually accompanied by a grinding noise when you turn in one direction). Like Brenda said, if it's something serious it could be dangerous so get it checked out. The pulling may be an early warning!

Re-iterated what others have said check pressures if ok get it to a mechanic... I had a similar thing with my rover and ignored it next thing I knew I broke down just outside Los Cristianos when my constant velocity joint broke going round a round-a-bout.
I am not saying that is what is wrong with your car but had it happened to me five minutes earlier I would have been in the outside lane of the TF1 at 120kph!

Have you just got a promotion at work? If so it could be a simple case of you "careering of the road"
