Default Loose steering

I have a really big problem on my lx 94 accord. When u drive it the steering is really wierd. It feels like u dont have the contol over the car. The wheel turns by it self left to right if u let go. U have to hold the wheel really hard. First i thought it was alighment. I fixed that but it steel does that. What the hell is going on with my accord i almosted had like 10 accidents while going to work on freeway.. Please help

Have you Hit anything?

One time i hit a curb, and bent the lower control arm and the sub frame a little, and if i let go of the wheel it would spin to the left...

Yah ones i hit my right side wheel really hard but there was no problem the car seemed pretty good. But if you press the gas really hard or turn left while going really fast the car seemed like jump or shake U can feel like the left wheel was kind of moving everywere. Then i sow that on the left wheel the upper contorl arm was loosen. I thighten the bolts on the sides and then my alighment was really messed up When i fixed the alighment everything was perfect but the next day the steering was messed up. LIke if you put the wheel really straight it will go straight but if u only turn little bit and let go it will turn really hard by it self left or right If the road is really perfect the car will go staight and if there is a bump or something then the wheel starts turing by it self..

I wanna say you might have more problem than just alignment...sounds like something might be bent in your car and if it is...then it can get nasty because you can't really tell if something is bent just a little bit. and if that's the case, youmight have to just start taking things apart one at a time and replace them until you finally replace the right thing.
Have you asked the alignment people if they were able to align it to the factory setting? Honda only lets you align the wheels in one way out of the three (toe, camber, and caster) what about wheel balance? did you do that?
