Default my sc wanders..somethings off

hey, my sc wanders somewhat, not awful but still off....it was realigned and still something is up.. when im cruising in 5th rpm's at 3k doing like 80 it starts to sound like a rubbing noise as if the right wheel is off or something... just want to know how i myself can try and figure out whats going on before i bring it to the mechanic.. thanks guys

What is the year and mileage of your SC?

Do you notice any scuffing on the tread of any of the tires; belts separating?
Tire pressures correct and consistant?
Are the shocks in sound condiction?
Have all the suspension bushings checked on all four corners.
Steering and loose rack bushings... worn front ball joints?

rubbing noise and wandering indicates bad wheel bearing.
