NOT a mechanic here, but have had over 40 cars since I turned 16 y.o.
It could be something as simple as a front-end alignment, I have had cars that wandered all over the road when I would first purchase them, take them in and have them inspect and align the front end, and be ever so grateful when they would find NOTHING wrong!!! haha... But there were other times, when a idler arm would be worn and lose, and once the whole front end in my Toronado had to be completely rebuilt!
I would say if you can turn the steering wheel from left to right, and back right to left and you don't hear a myriad of clunks, and groans, and a whining noise, you just probably just need a alignment.
But ya never know till ya get it in there.
best of Luck to you!!
