Is the car naturally driving straight? For the rear end, maybe the top or lower arms are stuffed (particularly on one side) causing a different amount of rear castor on one side (other than the 4 link rear end bushes, and maybe sagged rear springs I can't think of much that effects a rigid axle) have a look at the arms I think.
Oh, one other thing, has it had a bad crash in its life? Maybe the rear axle is not sitting in the rear correctly (might be pointing off to the side?).
For the front end, with the wheel on the ground is there any side play in the tire's (grab hold of the top, and pull in, then push out, should be minimal play), if there is, might be wheels bearings (jack up the car and test) or ball joints etc. I'd get a wheel alignment on the front and see what the figures are...
Also I'd be running more pressure prbly around 32-34psi as well.
Cheers
