Bad motor mount causing. Car to wander

If so, there are several ways to check LCA. Kicking the tires standing in front, jack it up and wiggle, turn wheel and check the compliance bushing (its the round vertical bushing) for rips. Sometimes the horizontal bolt might not be torqued correctly or may be loose (which I spotted on my honda). That bushing is not too hard to replace by diy, though dealer or mechanics might just get the assembly.
Edit: I use Firestone for alignment and they never spotted a bad LCA bushing or the loose bolt (mentioned above). They also did not spot a missing slider pin bolt on pass side on my honda. Take note not to go there to get any good advice except to get only what you paid for.

Sorry I been away
Sorry about the super late response. Well the cars still doing it. Hasn't gotten any worse. Looked at my CV shafts today and the tranny side boots on both sides are completely shot. There's still lots of lube in them they don't make any noise yet. But I remembered I was up at Toyota and they said there was a service report in for Camry xles and es300 that their boots would break and they would start to pull left to right under torque like my car does. This is just a really hard problem to pin point because there's no banging sounds. No clicks the tires aren't wearing bad. But it does shift really hard like that Camry in the video does

Check your sway bar links. On my Camry, the left front link was severely worn causing bump steering. I'd go over a bump and the car would swerve to the right. Or the road surface would change and it would swerve to the right. The sway bar link eventually failed, the ball came out of the socket. Replaced the link and all was well.
Another thing to consider is the tires. If they are severely worn they can make the symptoms worse.
