Impala suspension issues
So, my 2004 Impala is having some issues. If I want to drive in a straight line, I have to turn the wheel maybe a third of the wheel to the right. If I keep the steering wheel straight, it will go left. When I do hold the wheel at the adjusted angle, the tires will also squeal. The tire on the left side also has significant wear on the outside.
I've had the swaybar, control arms, ball joints and tierods replaced. I'm not saying it'* not any of those (although the wheels passed the shake/jostle test), just mentioning that I've had a history with those.
Is this description of symptoms enough for any of you to make a diagnosis?
Thanks

If you let go of the wheel does it pull to one side or track straight?
Ultimately I think you need to take it in for an alignment, and the shop will either be able to align it and fix the problem, or figure out pretty quickly what'* wrong once they start looking at it.
I am assuming it was professionally aligned when the parts were replaced, correct?
