Default Car still feels flimsy..wtf..

hey guys when i first bought the 01 teg in march, i noticed the handling was a little flimsy. So i had a guy check it out, aparently it had been into a minor accident but no frame damage or anything, the guy just told me to get new tires, because they had grooves. so i got myself a set of falekn ziex, and they are pretty good tires, not the best, but good overall. anyways, i grip alot better, butt the car still feels flimsy. Fo an example, today i was on the highway and there was traffic and i was crusising at like 30 mph, but the car felt very wobbly, swayying in the front. (its not that severe just noticeble) So aparently its not much of the tires, so what else can it be? what else would make the cars handling shitty like that? Im not much of a gear head but could it be the front sway bars? someone throw me a bone, thanks

Did you try getting a good alignment done to it yet? Your toe may need to be zero'd out.

You should jack your car up and make sure nothing is missing, such as the front sway bar. If your car feels overly loose in the handling department (not just traction), an alignment or camber kit isn't going to do much but cost you money.
