Get an alignment and make sure your tires are properly balanced. Also, take a look at the tires wear. If it is uneven, at low speeds it may be causing it to "push" the car in a direction.

well if there some kinda hard pull (ive experienced it) i think you got condensation in your PS connector, thus resulting in the little metal prongs getting corroded, thus resulting in a faulty connection
solution - get under your hood, remove the airbox and the plate that holds it underneath it...you will see the connector right under it, and right above the radiator...pull it apart and use some electronic cleaner (you know that stuff to dust off keyboards and sh*t) spray some on the metal prongs and dab some antisieze on em...plug back together and put everything back...you should be fine
