9000 Aero MY97 - Weird Handling Issue (Long)

Hi, have been experiencing an odd handling issue that can best be described as the same sensation you get when wider tyres tramline or track imperfections in the road surface. Now the car has the Abbott Racing sports springs, some poly bushes (especially the wishbone versions) with Koni Sports adjustable (fronts just replaced with new ones). Am running 17" x 7.5" rims with 235/40 x 17 rubber. Now here's the problem. At various speeds and subject to any road deformations (such as large grooves in road surface usually cause by trucks, etc) the steering has tendancy to track left or right. Even changing lanes the steering can be affected even by the catseyes that divide the lanes. Feeling like there is a greater tendancy for the steering to pull left (I am in Australia) versus right but I feel this is more anecdotal then any scientific analysis. Now the LHS front strut bearing is buggered and the rhs bearing is stiff (waiting on parts to replace). Could this be the cause?? Bearings not working and causing springs to bind a little with steering input??? Have ruled out the dampers as I have just replaced the front ones. Could it be drive shaft/CV wear issue. Are there other bushes that may have worn that could cause this problem?? Car has approx. 130,000 miles on the clock. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated. Cheers
