This can be due to tires or alignment or worn suspension parts. Rotate the tires first. If that doesn't help, and you're absolutely SURE that the alignment & suspension are good then you center the wheel by adjusting both tie rod ends EXACTLY the same amount in the same direction. I.E. if you make the right one longer two nut flats, you then make the left one shorter by two nut flats. Mark the tie rod, the nut & the tie rod end with a marker before you loosen them. Make sure they are tight when you're done. It'll take some trial & error to figure out how much you need to adjust to get it just right.
