Default suspention problems

i have tokico springs and struts on my crx. i lost control to avoid totaling it and hit a curb head on. no damage to rims. i replaced tie rods and a control arm. car now handles descent but nothing like before. car feels all sloopy and twichy. i want my car to handle like glue!! safety is key!! what all should be repaced? i know its best to change to polyurethane bushings and perhapes get sway bars and traction control crossmember. what else can i do i give the car that stable and crisp feel?

did you get an alignment done after you replaced your parts to know your car is still straight?

its funny becuase sometimes when im driving, its drives dead straight. while others, it pulls left, and oddly enough, sometimes right. im thinking changing all upper and loer A, to aftermarket ones, and alignment for sure. anything else tho?

get it checked by an alignment shop first. There's no point in throwing parts at it if you're not sure what the exact problem is. You'll just end up wasting more money that way.
