car goes straight when steering wheel isnt straight

Happy thirsty Thursday everyone.

I am running into troubles with my steering wheel

So lately my car has been going to the left some since I put my factory rims with tires on them back on.

Things I've done to try to fix the issue:
  • checked all tire pressure, 34 all the way around
  • alignment

So right now when I drive my steering wheel starts to go to the left some and when I try to straight it out in its straight position my car starts to go to the right some.

Right now I am searching around the forums to find an answer, no luck right now.

Things currently on my car:
  • eibach sportline springs
  • steering rack spacer
  • camber bolts

They have been on for 2 years with the stock struts and shocks, car only has 71,000 miles

the belts in the tires could be messed up, or it could be a break issue

I went back and got another alignment for free, it made things a little better. The steering wheel is going a little to the left. But the car isnt going to the left anymore when driving.

I may have to change the rotors soon, there's no warp but I will change them anyways.

my tires arent making any weird sounds but I do have 2 different sets of tires.I have one more of the same tire. So that would make 3 the same and 1 different.

Since my steering wheel does start to shake after 50mph

Could be the top strut mounts.

The front 2 are the same and the back 2 are different. My steering will is still tilted when going straight and steering wheel still shakes bad when breaking at certain speeds.

Can't tell what's causing both of them. Might have to change out rotors. But that won't fix the steering wheel.
