im a certified tech for nissan and its usually a suspension or steering component ...i have had in the past tire issues ..broken belts......or if the person performing teh alignment does not jounce "bounce" the vehicle the tie rods do not return to center and the result can be a couple tenths of a deree off therefore resulting in a mis alignment ....wat is not staying aligned....another thing i have seen is rack bushings bad.......hope this helps
