i have problems with my alignment, it veers left... i got an alignment several times but it's still messed up.... depending on road conditions the wheel might be straight therefore my car goes straight but like on angle roads or on straights the wheel is tilted.... and it feels that my turns are not as responsive..... what can cause a bad alignment besides installing new lower springs?

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I'm having the same problem. However, I didn't get lowering springs. The steering feels loose and when the rod is at an angle so is the steering wheel, even though I may be going straight. When I turn to the left, the steering is slightly to the left when I finish the turn and the wheels are straight. Same thing with the right turns. My mechanic says the tire rods are fine, and he replaced the bushings, I forgot which ones because it was 6 months ago. What else do I need to check/replace? Also, I get a creaking sound when I turn the wheel either way. Any help would be appreciated.

do y'all have a tire gauge and make sure the pressure is up? for 17's u should be runnin close to 44psi. Check tirerack details for ur max pressure. this'll affect performance dreadfully.

Tire pressure was even all around and up to spec (I have factory rims).
