Any ideas what this could be?
LS 430 UL with 60k miles. I purchased the car out of state, 800 miles from my house. The dealer put brand new tires (Dunlop Sport 5000's) on the car when I bought it because they misdiagnosed a noise problem. The noise was actually the front left wheel bearing. I did notice that the car was a little out of alignment and slightly drifted right. Nothing to do with road crowning
I drove the car for about 500 miles and although it was a little loud b/c the wheel bearing it was straight as an arrow (just a little right). I average over 90 mph. Then the last 300 miles the car would move 6 inches right then correct itself 6 inches back left.
I later had the car aligned at a Goodyear shop. I did notice that the Goodyear shop aligned to spec w’out air ride. The car does have air ride. Could this be part of the problem? Struts?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

I would think more along the lines of some loose bushings, steering rack, control arm, something... they can sometimes be hard to diagnose, but definitely get them checked...
