Default Car Jerks at Highway Speed

When driving on the highway at about 60, my 2007 350 jerks to the left and only to the left. It might happen at slower speeds, but is a lot harder to tell. My wife describes it as "just enough to make you question was that the road or the car?"

History of the car:
- I replaced all the suspension parts
- Brought it in for alignment
- Car was mostly fine, but noticed at slow speeds, when turning right, could hear a metal on metal noise. Turns out, I didn't tighten down the nut on the CV axle and then crimp it. Tightend that and metal on metal went away.

I think it is probably the driver side, front, wheel bearing as a result of me not tightening the nut down all the way.

Any other thoughts?

Check the control arm bushings.
