You are not necessarily imagining things:  Small errors in rig,
extra wear in this and that, something non-obvious busted, etc.,
all can indeed create the impression of a "jinxed" airplane.
Possible causes of what you describe might include (1) Low
tire pressure or worn tires, (2) dragging or damaged brakes on
one side, (3) wear or damage to bushings or attach points where
the main gear connects to the fuselage structure ...
