I'd say that if you are "white knuckling" a 2005 Malibu at anything over 30 MPH, you need to relax some (!), or start replacing parts, and find a technician to perform that alignment that it so sorely needs.
By the way, roads that are worn out may cause your car to pull badly to one side or the other.
It's worse with wide tires and/or a poor choice of rims (offset/setback).
