alignment may not be the issue. Check the steering rack bushings for wear (two towards the driver's side, one on the pass. side). Also check the PS system for any leaks in it as well. Alignment is the last thing that may cause the problem, if so it might be a caster issue. Check all your other joints like control arm bushings and such as this will also cause sloppy and soft steering.
