It's hard to narrow down. WIth the alignment aspect, a bad caster adjustment is what causes a lack of self-centering. Worn components like strut bushings can cause this (or anything else that locates the strut relative to its other mount). Or hitting something can knock alignment off.
In bad cases, I've read of a worn pump or rack causing the issue, but it's kinda rare.
Good luck.
