My care is making a noise that you lead one to believe it may be ou tof alignment but, when I take my hands off the steering wheel. it drivves fine no pull to the left or right. Could this be a wheel balance issue and how esxpensive is it to fix?

most wheel shops charge around 6 or 7 bucks per wheel to balance and mount them. is it a grinding type noise or what exactly? could be many things such as worn suspension components or faulty brake components etc...

It is a grinding noise but it is not constant. A ttimes it is more noticable than others.

does it come from the right front or left front area ? sounds like you may have a failing wheel bearing. is it louder at higher speeds?

well if it is a faulty wheel bearing then it will be approx. $225 to have it replaced, that is labor + parts.
