or someone had the wheel off and didn't put it back right

As Saxman says - check those things first, and if OK, remove wheel, rotate slightly and replace

With your hands off the wheel does she pull in the direction that the wheel is off,
Does one tyre seem to be scrubbing on the inside???

TBH i would suspect the steering wheels been off thou.

to set steering properly you should centralise steering box using pin up the drop arm into bottom of box or if hasnt got that count turns from locl tock and leave in middle,steering wheel can then be centered either by removing it or by undoing steering linkage to box and resetting ,drag link can then be adjusted to put wheels inline if not ,the reason is so that steering box is central as has central tight spot when been driven straight will work either side but

Thanks for the help fellas,,did notice a tyre was scrubbing on inside so got the tracking sorted..Now steering wheel has centralised and it's not wandering/wallowing at all.
