tight steering

yes...your alignment could be out of whack...you might need more caster...a good example of what alignment specs you should have is somewhere around 3 or 4 degrees positive caster, 1/2 degree negative camber, and 1/8" toe in...

what you describe, is usually caused by the alignment guy....I had my car aligned once, and I noticed the wheels wouldnt straighten back up going through a turn..i took it back and he added more caster? i think...and it fixed it....some alignment shops, "set the toe, and let her go" or do those "air pressure alignments" lol
