Default crv "pulling" to the left when coasting?

maybe it's just a case of needing an alignment, or even low air pressure in my tires, but i noticed something pretty alarming on the way home from work today.

back story, i need new sway bar end links, so the front suspension rattles like a motherfu... but this is (i think) unrelated. crv is a '97 and has 180k on it and bone stock except for different wheels.

im on the highway today, doing 65 or so and when i lift off the gas it'll pull/drift to the left, but if i get back on the gas it pulls to the right or straightens out even. like torque steer highway speeds. and lately im noticing some "play" in the steering wheel.

wonder wtf? ive replaced sway bar bushings, ball joints, upper control arm bushings and lower a-arm bushings before. i wonder if a tie rod is about to give way..?

thoughts?

tie rod ends probably shut....thats why your alignment is messed up causing the car to go left or right...fix your tie rod ends and maybe bushings and check your tie rod ends for grease or play...youll see if its messed up...then get an alignment after you fix it

probably tie rods.

i'd say tie rods or compensator (lowercontrolarmbushings but you've already replaced them).
