I am looking at buying a 1958 GMC 4104 bus. I test drove the bus and if you let go of the steering wheel it jerks hard to the right. Does anyone know what might be wrong> thanks

Bad steering alignment, bad king pins, bad tires, bad radius rods- that is just off the top of my head.

Could be a badly worn wheel bearing on one side.

I am not mechanically knowledgeable, but could it also be a result of a serious accident where the frame was bent somehow?
I have followed some old buses that appeared to be "crabbing" down the road slightly askew.... Question
