Jerks hard to the left when shifting, also dives when braking hard.
Alright my car has done this since Ive had it, when it shifts at WOT the trans shifts very firm which is good but the car will also jerk to the left very hard. If your not holding the wheel with both hands very tight it will throw you into the other lane. What could be causing this? Id like to fix it before/when I do my swap.
Also the left side of the car will dive down if you slam on the brakes. Bad shock/strut?

Not at all, tread is perfect. Other than at that time it drives straight and doesnt pull.

I'd check your front driver side ball joint. Make sure the pin hasn't lodged loose and your nut hasn't twisted loose/off. Other than that, possibly tie rods?
I don't believe a bad strut would pull you to the left after a hard shift.

Ball joints, tie rod ends, all seem fine, nothing loose at all. The rack and pinion boot on the drives side is torn because its to short to reach when turned to the right. Wonder whats up with that?

Man I'd go through and check both sides again. Somethings worn, like the bearings or something to tug on that boot hard enough to tear it.

No, the boot is phisically 4-5" to short to reach to where it clamps down when its at full lock to the right on the lift. The right side is the same way at full lock to the left. It almost seems like it had the wrong boot put on it.
