My steering will pull to each side. It is worse to the right, but depending what side its already on.. it tends to curve off if i let it. The steering will also wobble and act weird if I drive on snow. Can I have some ideas of might b wrong? Is it a do-it-yourselfer?

It's probably the alignment. My car was doing weird stuff on snow too, and I adjusted my rear toe angle. Take it in to any car/tire shop and tell them you just want it aligned. That will prob fix ur problem.

before they align it have them check the front end for loose tie rods or ball joints. they have a big effect on the alignment if the r loose.

plus check the ball joints if their leaking oil... replace them asap!
