Default Lude's steering/alignment is funky

Alright, for the record this is a 94 Si with 124k miles.

This problem is kinda hard to explain but I'll try my best.

My steering wheel simply has a mind of its own. Ruts easily take my car (which is understandable) but even so, on nearly flat ground sometimes my car will turn to the right or left (normally always right) when braking. Sometimes I'll brake on a flat surface and the car won't turn any way... but rather often it likes to really turn right when braking (I think especially when the car gets below 20 mph). I thought it must be air in my brake lines but that isn't the problem. My alignment is a little off since the new tires have been put on, BUT this problem has been occuring even before the new tires.

It's not just when I'm braking, but whenever the car gets into any minimal sized rut or basically ANYTHING, it pulls hard towards a certain way. It's normally right, but not always. There are no sounds of any metal clashing or anything either.

So, in perspective, my alignment is off to the right a bit. However, these problems are more serious than the alignment, which is why I'm posting. Plus, the alignment seems to only explain why the car pulls to the right a little bit when driving normally at any speeds... and my problem seems to go well beyond this.

As I said earlier, it's kind of hard to explain the problems because they're weird. However, any suggestions or similar problems that anyone has had and can explain would be great. Thanks.
