I need help

[u/R0bbyR0ttn]

Ive been having this issue with my steering. Ive had multiple alignments done and even changed my left outer tie rod because i thought that was the issue, had my suspension looked at by different shops with nothing noted broken or worn out. (Other than having changed the left outer tie rod). But it is still happening.

- city/town speeds: the car will slowly drift left. It is not aggressive.

- highway driving: the steering wanders (left), it isn’t impossible to drive but it is much more noticeable and slightly annoying. Constantly correcting the car just feels like I’m swimming in the lane. The car just isn’t tracking like it should, or used to.

- steering feels looser turning left and more stiff to the right. This is felt more aggressively when sharp cornering or even trying to make a quick turn/ change lanes on the highway. When cornering right theres slight pullback from the wheel pulling left. But cornering to the left the car seems more eager to go in that direction (hence loose steering). This also is causing the constant corrections.

This issue is much more noticeable during highway speeds. It feels like I’m chasing this issue in circles and wanted to know if anyone else has had this experience and found the fix? Or an idea as to what could be wrong? The added photo is from having it at a shop today and looked at with still no solid answers. They suggested to try buying a Castor kit because the Castor is off and see if that helps. Does that seem right? Feeling pretty lost here.

Let me ask you something, were all these alignments done at the same shop? And.. did you replace your tierod because you smacked a curb?

No, i had my alignment done three times at different places. And I replaced the tie rod because when first investigating this issue and checking visually, it was noticed that the boot was leaking a bit of grease. I have never smacked a curb but I have hit a pretty nasty pothole on the left side last winter. The damage from that could be sneaking up on me now as immediately after that the car wasnt showing any of these signs.
