Last night i noticed that if i took my hands off the steering wheel going in a straight line, the car would pull to the left pretty hard. The road i was traveling was straight as an arrow. What could be causing this?

A bad tire. Swap your front tires and Ill bet it pulls the other way.

Worn front end parts:
jack up so tires have cleared the pavement and put on jack stands.
spin tires and see if a brake caliper is dragging...
grab the front tire at the 3 and 9 o'clock position and wiggle back and forth , inspect for loose inner or outer tie-rods...
grab the tires at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and wiggle up and down, inspect for ball joints and wheel bearing...
check frame horns for rust damage...
check for tire belt separation, and/or rotate tires to see if the pull goes the opposite direction...
bad strut tower bearing, when driving take a hard left or right, and see if the car keeps pulling in that same direction...
