Hello, I was wondering if I need an Alignment. It veers to the right a little when driving and it kinda jerks around when you hit a bump. Problem is I had an alignment in January. Do some vehicles need alignment more often or is it just the mileage?

Sounds like a bad tie rod or the toe in adjustment is out of whack and needs alignment. You may also have an issue with a bad tire.
Since the car jump around on bumps, I would think the tie rod or the alignment is the issue.
