   1. could the steering wheel be out of alignment? does it pull if you let go of the steering wheel, if not steering wheel needs taking off and moving round a couple of notches
   
   2. driveshaft needs replacing
   
   3. could again be linked to driveshaft
   
   hope that helps

   disconnect the battery half an hour before there are two small torx screws holding the airbag in you get to them at the back of the wheel, air bag lifts out disconnect it then theres another big torx bolt under the air bag undo it then the wheel comes off
