My 1978 Nova (52,000 miles) "wanders" when I drive it, requiring
constant, jerky steering wheel movement.  It feels as if the car is
almost out of my control.  I've had this problem for quite a while, but 
now it's so bad I'm afraid to drive the car at all.

In the past, when I've taken the car in for regular servicing, I've 
also described this problem, hoping each new mechanic would be able to
correctly diagnose and then fix the problem.  Each time an alignment is 
performed.  It helps only slightly and within a couple of weeks the car 
is out of alignment again and the problem is as bad as ever.  By this 
time, I think perhaps the poor alignment is a result of the problem, not 
the problem itself.

I would be very grateful to receive suggestions.
