Get your front end checked out by a mechanic. Could also be the tie rod ends; they tend to wear out rather quickly on some of these cars.

 

hm .. what do they tie rod ends look like? and how much do they usually run

 

It could be the motor or transmission mounts. Check to see if any of them are loose or busted. Also could be caused by a bad tire. Try swapping the front tires and see if it starts to pull the other way.
