UPDATE:
I did everything to upload the bushings pictures but not coming up. Anyway, I swapped right and left front tires and the car is now veering towards left, which means bad tire. Good thing is tires are new and still under warranty.
Thank you, Kenatminimania, for your response.
I checked the strut assembly and it’s clean. Checked the bushings and here are pictures of both right and left. Visually looks ok but wondering if these pictures show anything.
P.S. I forgot to mention in my original post that when the shop did the first round of alignment, they couldn’t because they said both tie rods were “frozen” and I guess by that they mean the rods were stuck and couldn’t adjust. So I put in two new tie rods.

I asked the shop if they’ve noticed anything to indicate that’s something else that causes the car to misalign as it doesn’t make sense the car loses alignment after 240 miles driving on straight paved roads and the mechanic said car is clean and he hasn’t noticed anything loose in the front. Before buying the car, I checked the VIN and the history of the car and hasn’t been in any accident and there’s no recall on the car. Does anyone experienced the same issue or have any idea what causes the car to lose alignment? Thank you in advance.
Also check the condition of the front strut mount / guide support. Check from the top side to make sure the rubber around the strut shaft bearing is intact.
