Car Feels Like It Swerves

When I bought my VR-4 it came with H&R springs and AGX's. Ride was poor and was really bad on the freeway. I immediately ordered some Konis and the ride quality drastically improved. At the same time I also replace all the upper strut mounts with KYB's. I also replaced the front endlinks and the bushings with Energy Suspension along with the sway bar bushing's in the front. As for the rear I could not find whole replacement endlinks so I just replaced the bushings with ES aswell. I took it to get aligned shortly after and they "checked" my suspension components and said everything appeared to be okay. Tires are wearing down but still have thread. Doesn't feel like the tire would be at fault for the feeling I am getting with the car.

I noticed that what did not go away was at higher speeds above 70mph the car's rearend feels very unsteady or the car as a whole feels to swerve from left to right, right to left, almost as if it were rocking side to side. I have driven it like this for well over 18months but I feel I need to get this issue taken care of as it is quite annoying at freeway speeds.

Few weeks ago I took a very hard left turn but was very well calculated and my rear end wanted to swing out on me. I counter steering and gained control. Under hard acceleration I do feel some vibrating and from what appears a bit of clunking on occasion and at a full right turn say going into a driveway when you are already on the right lane I will get clunking.

Just looking to find a solution.

Thanks
