Default steering probs s2 turbo

ive got a problem with the steering on my s2, when im driving i have to have the wheel turned to the left slightly just to go forward, ive just replaced the bottom arms and the steering rack and had it 4 wheel aligned but on the motorway yesterday the problem was worse than ever,
any ideas what it could be?? the pass side drivehaft is just starting to get a bit noisy so im going to change that this week, but would it make it do this????????
ive also noticed that when i go over a bump with the pass front wheel it steers that way, im very confused, im thinking it cold be the arb bushes but dont know

pleeeeease help

I've seen some Spax struts bend quite badly at the bottom where the upright grips them.
