Default Pulls to the left

My daughter has a problem with her car. It wants to pull to the left after making sharp left turns. After i make a right turn it seems to go away. Otherwise it seems to drive straight. Braking does not effect it and I checked the tie rod ends recently, seemed ok to me, and I thought it may just be the allignment. Her front tires are new and we are replacing the rear ones today. I will take it to get an allignment done but I don't want to pay them to change worn parts if I can avoid it. Anybody have any ideas what could cause it?

Balljoints or hub bearings.

I had recently replaced, like about a month ago, both ball joints and the left hub bearing. Any other ideas?

The only other thing I could see being an issue would be tie rods, but I'd let the alignment shop replace those. When I had my bumpsteer kit installed, one of my inner tie rods was bad, and I know that takes a special tool, so I let them change it for $50

If it isn't ball joints, then I would guess the tie rods. Could even be the steering rack.
