It is possibly the wrong thing, but considering that if OP actually did check his toe, camber, arms and tie rods, it is possible that what happened to him is like mine which misaligned the steering rod (i forgot what it was exactly called) due to massive counter-steer when I hit something on the road. Had nissan and several shops took a look it, wherein everything was in spec, the fix was either re-align the steering rod, or pop the steering wheel off and then re-centering it. When I did mine, I just decided to put a momo steering wheel instead back then. I think the best way is to have it professionally put back.
