What would cause this!! I know my aligment is off but what should i fix to keep aligned?? Ball joints?? Upper/lower control arms???

    sounds like caster is off (at least to me). caster is the way the wieght of the car is positioned relative to the center line on the wheel.
    you just need to go to a shop that does front end alignments make sure that the have a machine do it.

    I'd at least inpect all the ball joint grease seals first. Check that all the bushings look good and none of the joints have play. If a part is bad then you'll end up paying for two alignments (one now and one after you replace the bad part).

    my drivers side lower ball joint is going and is pretty bad and does the same thing you describe, and every time my car shifts, the steering wheel jerks slightly to the left... do you get that too?
