Civic swaying problem
ok I'm new so please be nice. I have a 94 civic hatch. The car originally ran fine until I swapped out the whole front and rear suspension for a 97 GSR set up. Now the car sways as I approach 65 and may be higher MPH (I stop going any faster then 65 because the car starts getting out of control).
I double checked all my bolts and re-lose them to re-torque them down to spec (can't say them off the top of my head but I am a mechanic so I know what I am doing with torque specs).
there are only two things right now that I can think of but still trying to get the parts to see if it will help.
1) I am currently not running a rear sway bar (I figured the civic did not have a rear sway bar so it should not be much different)
2) 1 of the front bottom control arm bushing is starting to go and the tire can be rocked back and forth by hand
Any ideas and suggestion would be nice
Thanks in advance.

Re: Civic swaying problem
Thanks for those that wade in. I fixed number 2 and an Integra front and rear sway bar is on its way too.
I also found out my toe was off so I fixed that too so the car runs fine now.
