Is there a person who knows about motor care here?

I got an alignment 2 weeks ago, about.
I just got a rotation and balance done.

But, when I don't hold on to the steering wheel, it will tend to turn to the right mostly. Or a little left.
Then, when I brake to stop, the wheel will move to the right.
The steering wheel feels as if it wants to shake at times, and my wheels do feel as if they try to turn to the right when driving.

Wtf is going on?

One place said I can replace the sway bar to cut down on the way it feels as if it's out of control, as if the steering wheel needs to shake.

But, what about the wheel going to the right, especially when braking?

Any ideas?

If you have a warranty on the alignment, I’d get it checked out.

Tell Pep Boys or whoever what you’ve been experiencing.

They should do the checkup for free if you have a warranty.

I know Pep Boys, as a matter of course, guarantees alignments for at least six months.

These cars are known to go through steering endlinks. I would upgrade sway bars too. It could be a number of linkages. Hot hatchbacks just go through these things.
