Default my sc300 is riding weird

i skid out the other night and got stuck, nothing was wrong with the exterior luckily but hte alignment got messed up and i got it aligned up it still seems to have a "dron" when im in low rpms between 3-5 gear, and it feels like i hear some skipping noise as i drive....not sure if maybe its the brushings that i hear wear and tear very easily or the wheel..i had the alignment done at lexus cause i knew they would inspect everything and they said my timing belt and caps spark plugs and rotors are due as.. do you think these could have something to do with my car riding weird?>?? any input woiul bd great.. my name is max ive had the car about 2 months and i knew to the site so any help would be great thanks..

your tie rod ends could have been damaged when you spun out, but i'd imagine the techs would have caught that when they tried to align your car. but some techs are idiots so they might not have noticed

grab your wheel in the 9 and 3 o clock positions and try to turn the wheel (like you're steering). you'll feel the looseness, or mabye even hear it clicking back and forth it if its broken
