Steering wheel wont return in its own?

I have a 1997 Ford F250 4x4. After completing a turn from a stop light or stop sign the wheel will not go back to its normal position on its own. I have to keep pressure on the wheel to keep it straight or else it will pull in whatever direction i just turned the wheel. Is this just a matter of a wheel alignment?

    Have you got a lift kit on it?

    If so you have altered the steering geometry and the kit needs modifying or removing.

    This is the usual reason for this effect. It can be as little as 2 inches.

    Possibly, also check the condition of the axle u-joints and ball joints. If they're binding, it'll cause your steering issues.

    could be, check the ujoints on the steering shaft after you have checked with straight shooters suggestions
