Steering problem?

I starter to notice that my car has an easier time turning left than right (turning to the left requires a bit more force). I don't hear any noises at freeway speeds. My steering wheel is a bit turned while going straight are these symptoms of poor alignment? Thanks

any mods or accidents, friend had a similar issue on his 99 bmw 328i. he had gotten into a front end accident that ripped off the front wheel. he used junk yard parts to fix it and it ended up messing up both sides.

anyways, the issue was from the steering rack, it wasnt straight causing the steering knuckles to wear and require more force one way.

yes the steering wheel not being straight is a sign of alignment issues. does it pull at all?
