Default For the techs!!

I have a 93 civic ex 2dr that i purchased not to long ago and i've been trying to figure what causes it to move from side to side everytime i hit a hump. i just feel that i'm going to lose control of the whole car when i'm going over a hump no matter at what speed. It used to be the front and back but i replace the trailing arm bushings and that fixed the rear. But now i'm stuck with the front. i've replaced the the upper control arm, lower ball joint, inner tie rod, outter tie rod, and the stabilizer link but it still does it. What can the problem be? any suggestion would help

The whole car moves side to side? maybe the shocks are bad?

I am assuming you have checked to make sure your tires are inflated properly. Sometimes when the tire pressures are low, there may be a side to side movement as the sidewalls flex.

I know it is a long shot...

Another thing to check is where the steering column attaches to the rack. There may be a "flex coupling" that is going bad. Though, this is a very rare occurance. It seems you have replaced everythign that would normally cause this. Do you think maybe the parts you replaced were not tightened properly?
