Default CRX Feels 'Funny' When Cornering. Any Ideas?

In the last couple of days Ive noticed that my CRX seems to almost sway side to side or something when I corner. Especially when I am in a long corner like when I am gettin on or off a highway. Almost like its loose. But I wouldnt know what I would be looking for to see if it was loose or not. Im running Tokico Blue with Ground Control Coilovers, but the suspension doesnt seem different other than this weird swaying thats happening.

Its not major, but I can feel it because I know how my car is suposed to handle and this just doesnt seem right. Ive not hit any curbs, or anything that I can think might of triggered this. The only thing is what I got my axel to muffler exhaust pipe replaced. Thats it.

Anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

Well my car has almost the same problem. Except, only when I make right hand turns, the car will sway to the left a little (like it lost traction) and then instantly stop and it will feel like the traction is back. Doesn't sound like your problem, but with my problem, I'm 85% sure its my passenger axle.

Free bump for you.

sounds like you broke a sway bar link. very common, they just rust through. also, check your bushings.

outter tie rods.

jack up the front of the car, see if you can shake the front tires a little bit without any resistance.

im getting mine done this week, thought id chime in about it. the car sucks going into turns, doesnt feel sure of itself, if that makes any sense.
