You need an alignment done on your car.

You need an alignment on your car. That's why it sways. Or you have the biggest rotor warp ever.

it just got an alignment a week ago and it wouldnt be a worped rotor i think its tire wear or i need a new sway bar

Then what are you asking? If you think that's the problem look at it.

Do you mean it sways through corners or during straights, like chassis roll?

If it's through the corners, we don't know what kind of "racing" you were doing, whether or not you went through the corner too fast and put too much of a load on the probably damaged strut from the curb impact.

If it's shaking from when you took your foot off the gas it could be a u-joint, though usually those only show their damage when you're accelerating. We need more information to help you.

Bad shocks?

it shakes left to right the whole car going straight on the highway

If it's a fast shake, it could be a misbalanced tire, or a tire that's ready to blow. When I first got my car it had a blown CV joint boot and a tire ready to explode.

Have a shop check out your tires and your CV joints.

If it shakes left to right under deceleration at less than wheel rotation frequency then you probably have a loose connection (like a tie rod end) causing alignment to shift from toe-in to toe-out under braking forces. If so moderate cornering will feel like driving on ice.

If it happens when racing Mustangs on the street then you have a loose nut behind the wheel.

Left to right sounds like you ####ed more shit up when you hit the curb than just your control arm...
