Best Answer

Auto alignment can go out of whack when you hit a curb or are in an accident. The best way to tell if your alignment needs to adjusted is to find a straight empty road, speed up accordingly, and then lift your hands less than an inch off of the wheel. While under no power, if the car drifts to either the left or right then you might want professional advice on the steering/alignment. Most places, after changing your oil and rotating tires will confirm proper alignment.
