Well, you were already told what it could be in YOUR LAST THREAD. Don't know what different answers you expect now since the situation has not changed.

The easiest way to figure out if your subframe is bent without any special tools, alignment, or measuring equipment is with a long piece of string. Remove your front bumper, fenders, and headlights. Put the car on jack stands. Everything that looks square shaped, put the string diagonally corner to corner on it. Hold your fingers on both sides where the string meets the frame. Now take the string and put it across the opposite corners. You shouldn't have to move your fingers. If you do, your subframe is bent.

Could also be a bent upper control arm. Take it to an alignment place, they'll tell you the caster is off. Ask them if they have any idea which component is bent. Most places will check your alignment for free.
