Default Suspension an Steering Wheel Help

I'm currently driving an sc 400 and it has come to my attention that my steering wheel is not staight when I'm driving I have though about doing an alingment but my step dad is saying i should only do that when i get new tires i dont know what to do. What do you guys think?


As for my suspension it feels like when i hit a bump something it starts jumping or jolting in the front it also feels like something in the front is loose not sure what it is but I'm really conserned

Most likely its the steering rack bushings. If not, the front lower control arms/bushings. If you still experience bump steer at stock height then it may be the inner/outer tie rods.

its probably a combination of all of those things, bad rack bushings, bad control arm bushing, and probably worn out tie rods as well. Our cars are old.

edit, bad shocks can also be a part of it too.
