Default SC300 steering is off center and pulls right...help

when i first got my sc300 i notice my steering was off center and it usually pulls right if i let go of the steering wheel. Dont know if it is the tie rods? or needs alignment? also If im going straight i usually have the steering turn right and it stays straight any help i would appreciate it.

The fact that you have had the steering wheel replaced could very easily explain why the wheel is "off center". As far as it pulling to the right, you may well need an alignment, or even tie rods . . . but it could also be as simple as a worn tire or under-inflated tire causing it too. Look for the simplest stuff first.
