Default Steering Problem

Hey guys.

I have a problem with my steering. Whenever I turn the wheel to the right, it feels loose, but when I turn to the left, it feels tight. Some ppl say it's bad wheel alignment, while others say it's worn tie-rods. Can anybody clarify this for me? Thanx.

maybe really low tire pressure, or a bent control arm, tie rod ends, alignment.

Tire pressure is good.

Control arm not really sure.

My right tie rod end is kinda bent, so that can be the case. I think alignment is big too. I can recall hitting a curb twice .

I would take it to an alignment shop, based on that information. It sounds as if you may need a new steering rod.
