Sterring Issue
I have a 92, with no mods. I have noticed since owning the car that it has pulled to the left while driving, but has not been to bad. Recently I have noticed that it is getting worse causing you to keep constant preasure on the sterring wheel to the right to go straight. I had all four wheels aligned about eight months ago and it did not seem to help, it is like this all the time not just under braking. Any Ideas?

How long have you owned the car? These car have wide wheels on all corners and tend to "track" to the level of the road. When the car pulls ensure that the roads your driving on are pretty "level". Are the tires in good shape or have they been rotated lately?
If you had it aligned the shop that did the work should have checked the related components for wear or slop....but it never hurts to double check their work.....loose jam nuts after alignment jobs are not that uncommon to find. Jack the corners up and check each position for component looseness. Other than that - your power steering rack might be showing signs of needed attention.

Time for a realignment with a quality shop. Let the technician know what the car is doing. He will test drive it before and after. He should be able to adjust the camber to straighten out your ride unless you have a bad bearing, dragging brake, bad steering rack or the frame has been tweeked.
