With the tires properly inflated take the car to an empty parking lot and make slow speed u-turns first in one direction then another. Make several. As the u-turn completes let the wheel find its own center. Note the position. If the wheel doesn't consistently center at the same position that's a sign the steering rack is bad.

Oh, quite a long shot but some road surfaces are so bad a car will be pulled to one side or the other by the bad road surface.

Are the tires matched? Front and back and side to side? If unidirectional are all tires mounted so they rotate in the correct direction when the car is going forward?

 

Have the exact same issue. Will let you know if I manage to fix it but the alignment garages are useless tbh.

 

It's quite common on these cars for the rear toe to be be ignored during alignment setup. No amount of front alignment adjustments or parts swapping will make up for an incorrect set up at the rear.
