car feels loose and wobbly
My 2004 civic is at 167000km's
When i take turns or hit bumps my car feels 'loose' and wobbly... NO Noise or anything else.. what can be the problem?
I know one thing that driver side sway bar link is broken .. would that be the cause

Not an expert on broken sway bars.
However, you didn't mentioned if it feels loose and wobble when turning to the left or right. It wobbles generally right?
Take it to the dealership and have em' inspect the suspension.
Alternatively, if you want to save costs, you can take her to a tyre alignment shop. The experts out there, can pinpoint the issue within just a few mins or less.

This definitely seems like an alignment issue. When was the last time you got her checked up at the tyre shop? What about wheel balancing and rotation?
Take her to a tyre shop first. Have them inspect the tyres and suspension. Then decide if there is a need to get the suspension checked up at the dealership.

Likely also wear and damage to other suspension parts too. Also having the alignment at negative toe-in (i.e. toed out) makes a car very uncertain of its direction.

if i was to describe the problem the way it feels is
1 When i take a turn it feels like my rear tires are loose or something hence the car feels loose
2 right after im done taking the turn it feels like one of the tires of my car are different size than other one so imagine how it wuld feel if the tires were mis matched size..
I have got checked my tires they are all balanced and fine and proper size ...

You will need to have the tyres re-aligned, just in case, and ask the tech to do the factory stock settings.
Check tyre pressure.
After all this, if there's still an issue, then there may be maintainence work needed on the suspension. Get that broken sway bar fixed in the meantime.

You have had them balanced. That's good. So I'm assuming there's no need for wheel rotation. Also, how's the tread on all four tyres?
