Your call. Depends on you angle when you hit it, if you hit it square, then not really. If you hit at an angle, then I would recommend you get it aligned. The cost of the tire alignment will be relatively small compared to the cost of new tires if it does need an alignment. General rule: If you think you should get something fixed on your car and it won't put you into the poor house, go for it.

AnswerCheck the tread on your tyres and if they are worn on only one side your car needs a wheel alignment. I had the same problem with a shaky wheel and after getting new tyres (i needed them) and a wheel alignment the car wheel never shuddered again. I was told I must hit the curb a lot

89 Nissan steering wheel shaking and pulls to the right while driving?
You probably have a bad rt front tire. It may be low air pressure, lost wheel weight, or alignment. The low air pressure could make it pull to the right, and so could a bad alignment. Lost wheel weight and/or alignment could make the steering wheel shake. Think if you hit a large object, a pot hole, or ran over the curb for example this could tear the alignment up and cold weather will reduce the air pressure in your tires as well as a nail.
What would cause your right front tire to shimmy and pull to the right?
Something has affected the alignment such as hitting a curb or something. The reason it shimmies and pulls to the right is that the tire is not rolling in a straight line. It may appear to be but it is actually dragging a little bit sideways and will wear out really fast if you don't get it corrected. The alignment is in the steering gear so just changing the tire won't fix it. You'd just wear out another tire.
How do you fix the steering wheel on a 1998 Chevy tahoo the tires are straight but the steering wheel is not?
Seems to be a common problem on aging GM trucks, but can happen on just about any car. Take it to a tire shop and have it aligned properly. Sharp jolts to the front tires, like say bumping hard into a curb or hitting a bad bump, can knock the wheels out of alignment. It would also be wise to get this fixed sooner rather than later as poor alignment can cause excessive tire wear as well, and even affect fuel mileage if severe enough.
