Steering Wheel Alignment Inconsistent 850 1993

Your suggestions would be appreciated....
The steering wheel alignment on my '93 850GLT seems to change about 10deg. CCW when I make aggresive turns or turn the wheel while at low speed or stopped. As time goes on and I make turns in both directions the problem seems to fix itself, until the next time I apply strain on teh wheel.
Thanks!

    Sounds pretty odd indeed. I know my wife's car will steer straight down the road some times and then at other times it will pull like a bitch. Typically this kind of stuff is attributed to crappy or worn out tires. Even a good set of Michellins at the end of their run will cause all kinds of funky steering and handling issues. Get your front end checked out and rule out anything there and if the tires look half way decent then get them rotated and balanced and see what that does for your situation.
