Default car feels loose on the road what could it be?

ok so heres the deal... car dirve striaght and fine.. i still need to get a alignment done because i just switched out to th ITR 5 lug brakes....

theonly thing i reused from my gsr were the rear lower LCA's never disconeted any sway bars or shocks or springs... i inspected the rear trailing arm bushsings and they are fine no rips or tears... however the front lower ball joints are shot.... hoth sides have the boots missing.. i need to replace those immediatly....

but when im drivein straight and i turn the wheel quickly from left to right and right to left the car feels terrible loose almost scary... and its got such a lag in response time from when i turn the wheel and the car actually moves... in my old 95 hatch i had this same 5 lug system exact same one came off my old car onto this one and it was never like this...

i am not very good at diagnosing suspension problems. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...

i definately know i altered those settings.. and i am going to get a alignment.. but since the car drives striaght how do those settings cause the car to feel so loose? i thought that pretty much the controlled hwo straight the car drove and how your wheels were orientated with the car

wheel bearings?

if your wheel bearings are messed you will never be able to align the car, and everytime you hit a bump or turns the wheels or whatever the alignment will change, my integra had 240k on the chassis and the wheel bearings were fucked, andd everytime i hit a bump the car would go a different direction

it can go straight but the settings are off even u could say causing it to allow it to go straight...but as soon as the angle changed when u turn the wheel it feels loose.
