86 Bronco possible alignment issues

On my 86 b2 while driving down the road if i want to go straight I have to hold the steering wheel over in the 10 oclock position and if i let go of the wheel it jerks real bad to the right. Is this just a simple alignment issue or is it something else? Thanks!

Sounds like a bad steering gear box.

There's actually a few different things that could cause this, a bad powersteering box is one. If you whacked something with one wheel, it could've changed your caster or camber, could be a brake dragging, could be as simple as a broken or slipped belt in a front tire. I'd have an alignment guy at least take a look-see at it. They'll be able to tell you right away what it is.
