Default sloppy turns

im going to try and explain this the best i can.... (1995 civic coupe ex standard)

when im driving and i try and make a turn going 10-15 mph it feels sloppy... like it just throws all its weight into the turn(like if i was driving a heavy car)... now i know for a fact that one of my trailing arm bushings is pretty much dead and everything else is pretty much the way it came out of the factory. i am going to order the trailing arm kit this friday(is this a hard thing to change out?) is it possible that my shocks are out too? is there any way i can tell whats shot and whats still good? and if i order the master bushing kit will it help out overall? what kit do you guys suggest?

i know that there are tons of variables to be known and that will affect the way the car drives, but with what i've stated is it enough to cause these symptoms?

So its all stock? Everything is 14 years old. Trailing arm bushings I think either need to be burned out or pressed out. You should plan on replacing most of the suspension bushings. If your car bounces after going over bumps then your shocks could be bad. I wouldnt get the master kit, youre better of buying OEM bushings.
