Default Steering Problem after Accident

I notice that my steering is not so solid after hitting the ramp at 40 mph. Especially when the car moves from a stop, the steering would just turn itself in all possible directional combinations (left and then right, right and then left, straight left or straight right). When the car is traveling on some rough road, the steering would shake so bad than i have never experienced before...

Although i already have my alignment done after the accident but the problem still doesnt go away. Does anyone happen to know the true cause, or have similar experience and actually found a way to fix it?

a little more details of the accident can be found here...

and I have my TRD lowering spring and sway bar on quiet sometime so i know how "solid" the handling it should be...

an alignment won't fix something that bent (such as a control arm)

you're gonna have to have the car checked.
