If the car is wandering then you need to get your tracking and the rest of the steering geometry checked and adjusted. (toe and camber)
Then while its up on the specialists ramp ask em to see if anything else is wrong.

Do you get any noise or squeeks if turning the wheel and you are stationary...if so could be the power steering belt slipping as not tight enough.....just a thought as happened to mine.

I found though that once they start slipping they really need changing! Tightened mine at first but didnt take long to slip again.

Have you changed your front tyres recently? this can have a strangely similar effect!
