Ok so I changed my inner and outer tie rods on both sides because I noticed that when I take a sharp turn (like a quick lane change), the steering feels like its steering the front and then the back almost like it wants to fish tail on me. After I changed them, I got my alignment done and while it did tighten up my steering, the steering still has this strange feeling. Its hard to explain.

Any input would be great! Thanks

What kind of car? Do you have power steering? Can you explain a little more than "a strange feeling" ?

Its a 95 civic dx so no power steering. Its like I take a sharp turn, such as a quick lane change, it feels as if the front of the car turns before the rear and then once I get the wheel straight the rear of the car turns and almost feels as if its going to fishtail.

The cars rear end sways a lot almost as if its not attached to the car.

It sounds like you need to focus your attention to the rear suspension. It could be worn bushing or wheel bearing letting the wheel toe in and out.

Jack up one side at a time and grab the tire at 9 and 3 o'clock. Try and move it toward and away from the car alternately. There should be no play.

You know now that I think about it, yesterday I was doing about 60 down the highway and hit two NASTY pot holes. My buddy was following me and said he saw sparks come out(Im slammed lol) but he said it was from the left side so it wasnt my exhaust hitting the ground. Maybe I broke the rear trailing arm or something. Ill look tomorrow. Does this sound possible?

Anything is possible and nothing is known without investigation.

There could be a cabage patch doll up in der.
