Default Annoying aligment issue

So a couple weeks ago, I was turning onto a road, and i was on a patch of ice, so my car just skidded forward, but i had the wheels locked to the left...once i hit dry pavement again...it caught traction but i couldnt unlock the wheels fast enough...so it felt like my alignment was way off, cuz the car kept veering off to the left. I went and got and alignment, and it has only fixed it slightly. I am now suspectiing something bent, or broken but I dont know what? Im thinking to replace my tie rods or ball joints..but anything more obvious I should be aware of?

Check your steering arms, where they meet the steering rack, for any leaks.
