When I am driving down the highway on a level road the car moves straight ahead for a few yards and then begins to move to the side of the road even though I hasn't turned the steering wheel this situation continues, I put 4new tires on the car and a alignment the man said he check the ball Joints they didn't have any play what can cause the car to wander?

If the tie rods are bad would the steerling wheel shake when the front tires hit a bump in the road?
