Alignment issue???

I own an 03' A4 1.8T, occasionally I find the steering wheel pulls to the right or left when I am coming to a stop and also very rarely seems to pull either way slightly while driving (although I am still able to drive it fine and it still handles corners beautifully), I am assuming this is an alignment issue? Any other possible causes you guys are aware of, what kind of price range am I looking at to get this fixed? Thanks for the help.

I think that is just the car handling....

This happens to me as well sometimes... and usually it is dependent on the road.

I have the USP w/ 18" wheels, and they grab every little crack/dip/whatever in the road...

If it was pulling to one side consistently while coming to a stop, i'd say it was brake related

Could be brakes grabbing, could also be control arms crapping out.

Hmm I was thinking this was a possibility as well considering it doesn't happen all the time... thanks.

Same happens with mine (17" wheels with 235s). Any sort of road grooves, particularly on asphalt grab the car and pull it to the side. On a nice flat road, no issues whatsoever.
