Steering wheel turns right by itself

I have had been having issues with my 08 TL. The steering wheel will turn right about 50 degrees and the car will go right aggressively. I have to hold the steering wheel straight for it to go straight.

I have already got alignment done and it came out fine. I replacing lower control arm bushings on right side and then replaced the whole control arm as well, I switched tired.

I have been driving the car and it just occurred randomly without hitting anything. What should I try now?

An exorcist?

Just kidding.

Have you taken it to a local tire shop to have them look at the tires?

Did it just start or was there an accident involved prior?
If not, post the alignment results.

Only a few things that will cause this to happen:
1.) Bad Alignment
-- Post your alignment
2.) Bad Tires
-- Tires are worn funky
-- Tire pressure is waaaaay off
3.) Failing Suspension Component
-- Bushings worn/torn
4.) Bent Suspension/Frame Component
-- Broken mounts
-- bent sub-frame
-- bent control arm
