Unhappy HELP!Wheel alignment or steering column problem??

Hey 1st gens!

I had a wheel alignment done in August. I had to go back recently to have it adjusted, however it's still veering off to the side, especially on uneven pavement or pavement that is 'too smooth". I keep experiencing a "bump steer". I have to keep pulling the steering wheel in order to straighten it up. While turning, I have to do extra work to straighten up and to get the signal to turn off after the turn has been completed. Could there possibly be a problem with the steering column and not the alignment? If so, is this costly to fix?

Also, the third break light (top center) is out; what type of bulbs are used for this, can any retail auto shop fix it?

Thanks,

BrooklnLex

I'm having the same issue. I know my rack and pinion is goin out...leaking, but i'm not sure if thats the problem.

I believe its the brakes. Although i had 4 new calipers pads and discs installed last year, i think my left rear is sticking again. The disc is super shiny and i think it coaled up and cooled down. Since its the left rear, my car is pulled to the left and its a big PITA. Oh well.

3rd Rear taillight is LEDs and there no way all 50,000 of them burned out at once, i'm not sure if its a fuse or a bad wire somewhere...just guessing.
