If it was in a wreck it could have permanent damage. Take it to have the tires balanced and get a four wheel alignment, if that doesnt work.. then its most likely going to stay like that. On the up side tho, having a tie rod adjusted wrong will create that kinda feeling- which is a simple fix of just knocking the tie rod out and giving it a few spins.

or how about worn or torn front LCA bushings?

have a full suspension check. tie rods, ball joints, control arms, cv axles, shocks, springs, sway bars and their endlinks, tires, balance and alignment, bad engine mounts, bushings, etc. could be any number of reasons and the only way is to look.

i have had the LCA bushings replaced and it still feels like it wonders. I also had the suspension checked and everything looked good. Some thing else was i noticed on the car was in a rain storm my passenger side floor mat was wet. i know its not leaking from the window or door.
