Is my car out of alignment?
To begin with, my car has 13,xxx miles on and had an accident at 6xxx miles which caused replacement of control arms and other suspension stuff.
So from yesterday I don't feel confident with my car anymore, it seems to steer to right and feels loose on steering wheel. I thought it was just in my head and today I try to let my hands off the steering wheel on highway to see if car steers, and it does steer to right and steers hard when i accelarate.
If my alignment is off, what would caused it? And do you guys know any good alignment shop in north bergen? And how much should I be expecting?
Also, I hear some sort of noise which i can describe as some sort of mass rotating in end of the tunnel, it seems like it's comming from the right rear wheel which makes sound at speed of 35~45MPH.
Do you guys have any idea what is making that sound?
Lastly, when i had wheels replaced with aftermarket ones, center rings that came with wheels weren't fitting flush with hub centric ring (whatever part we put our wheels on), there were big gaps in the rear and smaller gap in the front.
Would this cause any problem that im having now?
And is it ok to ride like this? I don't want my wheels to fall off while i'm driving!
Thanks.

If this is something recent check your tire pressure(s) first. If you have a tire (or two) that is much lower than the others the car will pull. If a rear is low it will pull hard on acceleration.
