i used to sell cars and i made $50 from my mngr. by telling someone that the car had just gone through a 120pt inspection and the muffeler bearings,flux capasitor,and the chrome tensioner valve were all good. we used to screw with people all the time. love that pic i spit coke on my screen and allmost pissed myself.

this is what i got outta your post sorry i passed out last night
Suspension was swapped to strutmasters by the previous owner.
When I switch lanes the whole car does this float thing to the side I'm turning.
to much body roll (i have read) can be fixed with the addition of a better rear sway bar
When I'm driving strait and let go of the steering wheel the car will be driving straight and then just feel like it's about to buckle to one side, then it will do it to the other side. that just confused me
Have you ever had a really low tire and if you quickly jerked your steering wheel from side to side you can feel the car would "float" all over the place? It feels like that but it's not my tires. They are brand new and the pressure is spot on.
that sounds like the shocks and strutts might be bad
do you know how long the s/m kit has been on there? walk up to the corner of your car, push down as hard as you can on one corner of the car, count how manny times the car bounces, if your shocks are good it should bounce 2x max one time is prefered.
What's f'd up is the car is doing so many damn things it's hard to pinpoint one.
you should def. pull the wheels and just do a visual inspection of all the little rubber pcs all the way arround. when you jack the car up try to shake or pull the tire/wheel if it moves locate the play (end of movement) whatever is there should be replaced. also spin the wheel and if you hear any real noise replace the wheel bearings.
Tires cured a lot, but left other issues
running bad tires can cause serious suspension damage. if they are shaking the car that means they are beating the sh** out of your suspension ie ball joints bushings tie rods
but you are going to someone who can help. if he will drive to TN i would pay $10 per ride to feel what a well set up markviii feels like but i doubt he is gonna drive up here for $10 by the way (not that it really matters) hows the fuel milage with the 3.73s

I'm wondering if it is a bad rack because they said my rack is leaking pretty bad...although it isn't low on fluid so...

do you mean you just filled it or was this after 2 or more weeks of driving.
i guess my question is how often are you adding ps fluid in and how much?
is your steering kinda tight?

I've never filled it in the year I've owned it, yet it is leaking quite bad they said. I guess I have a ghost that fills up the ps fluid for me
Steering feels quite loose actually.

???? dosent mean your rack is not bad but that might not be where the leak is coming from.
but do the other stuff i said and i'm shure you will find most of your problems. and yes i do think you have more than one problem
but i have been wrong beforeand i dont think its a ghost but a gremlin that is injecting fluid into your boots and that little basterd keeps stealing my socks. and a mo. ago he stole my keys. little evil basterd
he might be living i your trunk if you are missing socks or have had any keys,jewlery,cellphones or watches come up missing find the gremlin and shoot him with a 12ga shotgun it will solve all your problems. o and this same creature has been known to hijak ebay merch. in transit be on the lookout
