You need to gather more information, and do some simple inspection.
1- Navigate through this website. Use the SEARCH bottom located to your upper right (to see it and use it, log in as yourself and click on 'remember me'. Navigating this website as a guest/lurker you'll enjoy only half the fun).
2- Check the tires pressure (all of them), and bring them to specifications. Check the steering fluid level. How is the power steering first thing in the morning (cold mornings)?
3- Take a look at your suspension components to see if there's anything broken, misaligned, loose, leaking, and so on. Once you've determined that your car is safe to drive, do a road test.
4 -Did the pull happen only once, or does it consistently, to the same side? Is it a pull or a drift? Test your car on a level road, taking appropriate precautions. Does the steering wheel shake at any particular speed? Is there any noise?
5 - Read more based on your inspection, and share your impressions.
