Default bad handling

I drive a 5 gen coupe and it handles like ----, it is not stable at high speeds, steering is very light and my car has a manual rack and does not have power steering , it does not sway, but if u turn the steering wheel to one side it pulls violently to the side, i know my front shocks are dead, do u think it could be the front lower control arm bushings, its not stable at all help please.

Get an alignment Greg. My car was light this at the beginning of the seson before I got my alignment done.

Could also be a bad balljoint, it stays aligned properly in straights, but when turning it shifts back and forth.

Bad alignment, probably excessively lowered.

Everything feels great, then the bad alignment causes real fucked up tire wear and your only solution is to either ruin another set of tires in a couple hundred miles or fix everything.
