Sketchy steering
Ok so im trying to figure where i should start looking. I have a 92 cx with stock components for braking control arms ect. Im having some sketchy issues while driving. Upon acceleration, it feels as if my front end lifts then when i shift it feels as to drop and thunk. While cruising, my car feels as if i slide back and forth side to side, like im not in control of the car, like at some points it feels as if my car is gonna shoot to the left. Now i had my alignment done at work and my toe was in spec, my camber is neg due to offsets, but never had an issue with neg camber causing these issues. I balanced my tires and have no shaking issues but more of a wobble in steering and a shimmy. Now where should i look? Could it be balljoints or tie rods that are causing this? My tierods looked fine but balljoints are questionable. Thanks in advance
This is just a slightly educated guess, motor mounts for your first problem with the front end lifting then dropping.
The other parts seem like an alignment. Did you get a readout of your alignment specs? Definitely sounds like you still got some issues there.

Motor mount is what im thinking also, there is no ac torque mount, so im gonna get one to help with engine mounting on the driver side. Alighment specs did look good, now my pass side tire wobbles but i know i need a wheel bearing on that side. I will check play tomorrow. What it seems to me is issues like bump steer?? Like my wheels want to steer me and me not steer them.

If you got an alignment shop, your steering and suspension components should be fine. If they aren't, the people who did your alignment job did a **** job. If your wheel bearing is shot, they did a **** job.
