Sounds like a suspension problem. I would reccomend you have your mechanic not only look at your suspension, but also have a good look at the rack and pinion.

Most likely the front lower control arm bushings. Its the big round bushing that holds the lower control arm. Thats a common issue that causes bump steer. Usually it doesnt look bad, because its a big chunk of rubber. But when you install the new one makes a difference
