Default suspension problems?

I have a 93 honda civic hatch and my car seems to be acting up and i dont know what it could be. When i am driving the steering feels loose like that feeling of fresh mounted and balanced tires but it moves left to right when im driving way too much. When i hit boost its crazy , the steering wheel starts of straight then is cocked a little to the left and it feels like it wants to move right like torque steer but thats not the problem. As im gettin higher into the rpms the steering wheel kind of goes wherever it wants unless i control it, it will slightly turn a little left and harder right and vise versa. i have no clue what it could be and i dont want to drive it unless i can find out what it is. I know that my steering has a little play in it but i dont know if it could be the steering rack? Oh and sometimes it pulls so hard to the right when i hit boost that the whole steering wheel turns half way REAlly quick. I just had an alighment not too long ago and it seemed to be fine. Does anybody have any ideas what it could be?

I would get the alignment checked again. Most places have a 3 month warranty...I would start there and rule that out first...

I work at a honda dealership and it cost 70bucks each time, whenever u are an employee there and they work on your car they treat u like crap. But i dont think that could be it. maybe my front and rear bearings are bad? but i would be able to atleast hear something from them

I would just take your wheel off and do a bolt check. Wiggle your wheel around to see if you can hear anything loose.
If somehow your lug nuts are loose smack yourself and don't tell anyone about it
