Default Front end pulling to right and steering wheel shake

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country Touring with a 3.8L engine. When I drove it I noticed the car pulls hard to the right and when I let go of the steering wheel it shakes from left to right. If you put one hand at 12 on the steering wheel, your hand would shake from 11 to 1 and repeat... pretty fast. The car is a decent deal. I think it may be a bad tire. Also the temperature goes to 3/4 but the engine does not appear to overheat. Any thoughts. Thanks I own a 07 and I like it but am not sure about these issues.

Welcome to the forum. In future, try posting your car-related questions in the relevant car forums farther down the page. This area is where new members introduce themselves. As to your question, the front end should be looked at by a competent front end technician to get a proper diagnosis. It could be partially a tire issue, or tie-rod ends, or ball joints or just some normal wear and tear from13 years of hitting pot holes or similar. Like anything, it can be fixed if you are willing to put the time and money into it. Guesses from over the internet are just guesses until it's properly inspected up close and personal.

Thank you for your information. Ps. I attempted to look for the proper area but as a newbee, I found it hard to navigate. I will look at the site more closely. Thanks!
