1998 Nissan Frontier 4x4 has a shack to the steering wheel at 50 mph and pulls to the right. The front tires are worn down. What do think could be the problem?

worn tires can cause this, as they wear unevenly as well as come out of balance.

also, a bent rim, worn CV joint or bent axle will cause the same.

worn CV joints and/or axles will often begin to shake at a lower speed and make clunking noises.
