    Get your wheel alignment checked, also double check that both springs on the front struts are both in there grooves at the bottom where the spring sits. Sounds silly but people do it accidentally.

    If you haven't got your own tracking stuff, then you'll have to take it to a specialist to get it done. Any good tyre place should have a set.
