Default Drifts to the right slightly when steering wheel is straight

I went over a hard bump this afternoon and I noticed that my car drifts slightly to the right when the steering wheel is straight. I might a little **** about it but I'm hoping that theres nothing serious cuz its not a significant drift. Is it possible that a couple PSI different could cause this? Thanks for the input

Yup, sounds like toe-jam. LOL. Your toe is probably out. Couple weeks ago mine was pulling just a little and it ended up being waaaaay out. Ate up my inner tire in no time. Pretty sure yours is not that bad though.

If one of the front tires was seriously lower than the other, that might cause some pull to that side. A few PSI wouldn't be noticable. Otherwise, it's alignment time.
