    So I hop in the car this morning to go to work, get up to about 30 mph and for some reason my steering wheel is tugging pretty hard to the left side slightly, but only when I'm going straight. when I turn the shimmy goes away.
    I looked around in the wheel wells, and nothing looks loose or out of place, I topped off the power steering fluid, and still no love.
    WTF fellas?
    HELP!
    thanks in advance

    I'm not being a smart ass.
    Sounds like your lug nuts are backing off one wheel.
    maybe a belt going bad in your radial?
    (I doubt that's it, but possible)

    edit: maybe a brake shoe hanging up?
