Default Steering Issues

Just curious what could be causing my steering to be off center and loose as I am driving down the road. If I am driving on a straight road the wheel has to be turned a little to the right in order to drive straight. Any thoughts?

Could just need an alignment to center the wheel. For the looseness, check the condition of the inner and outter tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, and the rack itself. Could also be worn u-joints on the steering column.

OK thank you. I just had an alignment and told them to center the wheel. I will take a look at the other stuff.
