Weird Suspension problems, insight please.

My 01 civic ex has developed a problem lately. The car feels very unstable while driving around, and the steering just seems to wander. You really have to pay attention while driving now to keep the car in the lines, its weird. I know my LCA up front are going bad, well at least the bushings are.
Is there anything else that could cause this sort of behavior? Im stumped.
Thanks in advance for any help

You may want to change ball joints, also why you're down there check your wheel bearings these may throw you off, the ball joint can be tricky to check, bc my car was clunging weird and had wierd steering, they often don't seem to look that bad or move, but for me they were the problem, bc after last week no more and my car doesn't pull, later

I've had quite a few wierd little suspension problems, mostly i think bc of road conditions and winters up here

turns out mine was due to a jacked up toe setting. Im not sure how that happened, probably when i had the tranny swapped out.
either way, its all better now
