Sounds like a steering pull or camber sensitive issue ,if no previous accident damage evident?Then first check tyres condition tread ,even swap to rear and see if that changes the steering .but foremost is front alignment check and check for steering and suspension wear.

Check the brake calliper and the wheel bearing .
