Steering isn't straight (Auto, 87, non-turbo)

[mrnickleye]

Wheel alignment at the least. You could take it to an alignment shop for a free inspection. Those guys should be able to spot any parts trouble, and give you an estimate for the repairs needed. Write it down if they don't give you a copy of it.

You can tell them that you'll have to wait till pay day if you don't want it fixed now, or by them.

Also, the steering wheel should be perfectly straight after the alignment. Lots of fools don't start with a straight wheel when they do the alignment.
