Steering Wheel Moving Sideways Why?

Sounds like your alignment is off, or your wheels are bent. Did your girl hit a huge pothole or something?

Agreed, sounds like someone hit a pothole or more likely a curb. Check your wheels for any damage, take the car in for alignment.

First, check tire pressure, "****" on the tire and for wheel damage. Put your steering wheel straight and look at your tires. See if they're also straight and if you can tell check to see if the tires arn't leaning in. If the wheels appear straight and the tires look correct its an alignment issue. If they're not then its suspension and it could be a number of things.

I'm no expert but if you're bored you can jack your front up and get the wheels spinning to see if it looks balanced or if they wobble.
