Id take it back to the place you had the allignment done. It has to be covered under some kinda guarantee??? Like 1 year or maybe a 10k mile? Sounds like you may have serverly worn tie rods or they were not tightened down right. They should also replace the tires since they obviously didnt fix the the allignment.

I would say you either have a bad or bent tie rod end. Or it could be the King pin bearings.
