Get in the car and drive down a road, with no body in site, get it up to about 20-25 miles and hour, and let loose of the steering wheel,don't let go of it, and press the break slowly, see if it pulls to one side or the other?. it mite be a sticky break caliper, or like Tom said, take it back to the alinement shop, and tell them whats it's doing now. I'm very surprised that they would let you drive it home in that condition, AND BE VERY FIRM IN YOUR VOICE,AND YOU UNSAFE FEELINGS....SOUNDS VERY DANGERISH TO ME!!!!!!!!.....hope this helps

My 2010 Dodge Charger does it also at first I thought It was the street you know how the far right lane of a 3 lane st. Slopes down but it does it if I hit a bump. It almost feels like the body and the suspension are going separate ways so I hold the steering wheel tight and in control till it’s ok. I’ve had new tires, wheel alignment, balanced tires and still don’t know what or why it’s happening? If someone knows what happening please tell me
