Default del sol - steering

i recently got a 96 delsol without powersteering, and when i drive the steering wheel pulls left or right depending on the level of the road im guessing, or at random times, which cause me to almost hit other cars and the curb. i was wondering if this is normal? i use to have an eg and never had this problem. i have 15x6 w/ azenis if that matter, also had the alignment done. can someone tell me whats wrong?

it's called being a man and holding your steering wheel where it needs to be

hahaha, im kidding, but that could be it

when you had your alignment done, was everything within spec?

it might be your tires + road. some tires like to follow the indentations of the road more than others

that happens with manual steering when driving on roads with grooves in the pavement. the wider your wheels, the worse it is. If its pulling on perfectly flat roads, its an alignment issue. If not, just man up and coutersteer when you need to, its not that bad.
