Default Steering wheel turning when driving.

Okay. So I did ball joins and shock absorbers in the front of my 1998 4wd blazer. After I did the ball joints it likes to dive to the right when I let go of the steering wheel. Could this be other things like control arms? My tire also rubs on the sway bar like it's turning WAY to far when I turn left or right. I also hear a "clunk" when going over bumps, which this would mean control arms? I'm going to be getting them just want to make sure this is the issue so I could order everything at once.

Sway bar passenger side. You can see rubbing on the bottom.

Replacing front end parts, unless really loose, normally would not be expected to cause issues with alignment. The fact that you hear a clunk when going over bumps indicates to me that you likely have something loose, either a new part that is loose or some old part that is loose still.
