Steering wanders

Hello,

My car was fitted with 19" aftermarket wheels, with kumho tires, and it kept pulling to the right because the tires were directional.

Changed back to e55 wheels with spacers, changed tires, and now the car cant hold a straight line. Everytime i have to adjust a little , on all speeds.

New alignment made, but still problem occurs.

Also, the rear always needs alignment ?

I have a feeling its is something in the rear suspension..? Control arm ? Bushes ?

Any idea ? Any help is really appreciated.
