I’m starting to get weird steering and suspension feelings again.

I’ve just had my MOT and nothing odd was found but similar to before, the steering needs lots of correcting when make quick turns particularly when taking right handers. I’m fighting it at times to straighten the wheel and the car is all over the place.

All suspension arms replaced approx two years ago and full alignment has also been done.

What else can cause odd steering/handling - any of the below?

Inner/outer CV’s
Bent driveshaft
Wheel bearings
Faulty steering rack
Uprights need replacing
Bent chassis?

I feel like I need to drive another A/S8 to see if I’m imagining the symptoms. Anyone local and brave enough to let me drive their baby?
