Did you ever get a full four wheel alignment? It sounds like the rear axle is not parallel with the front or/and the rear toe in is way off. Either that or both your cars have been in accidents that bent something.

Have you checked the front suspension for wear and tear?

Does the steering wheel wobble or vibrate? If so, and assuming the wheels are balanced, you have an inner CV joint problem. This can cause odd handling effects.

yeah it needs a alignment cause if i let go of the wheel it pulls to the right alittle but it did this when i bought the car from a seller and it wasnt out of alignment then cause it drove stright when i let the wheel go and it had 14" rims on it which it drove better till i put my 15? chromes on it then it just made it worse :(

Check the rhs front inner CV joint for wear. There should be maximum rotational slop of 1.0mm

You of course mean 15" ... what's the width and offset of these? Standard Mitsubishi sizes are 5.5J14 or 6.0J15 or 6.0J16, all with 46mm offset. Put a wheel with with, say, 40mm offset and you'll get increased bump feedback in the steering, and any alignment issues are magnified.

So ... you need to fix any worn parts and get an alignment.
