HELP! Steering Wheel Problem

Ok, my alignment is fine, so now I know that it's my steering wheel's fault. It tilts to the right about 5-10 degrees as its normal position but it steers straight in that position.

actually if i hold it anyone between a normal steering position and that new tilted one, i don't get any movement except very loose movement in the wheel itself. it feels like its on a coil, if i turn it to where its supposed to be and let go it pops back into its wierd angle.

anyone have any ideas on how can i fix this steering wheel play?

when is the last time you got new front tires? my car pulled right and had a similar issue where I had to constantly tug on the wheel to the left to keep it going straight... more dissappointing was the alignment I got that didn't fix it, but once I got a new set of front wheels.. it was fine
