    Go to Les Schwab and get it aligned.

      Are the wheels/tire on the car OE sized and with correct offset? If they are I'd wonder if a previous accident has distorted the uni-body. If they aren't, the wheels/tires could be the problem.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Stock size is 195/60/14 or 195/65/14 iirc, so the tires are a little too tall, but that shouldn't be an issue. My guess is the car needs to be aligned at a compentent shop. You should also be able to look at the tierods and see if they are visibly screwed in more on one side than the other.
