swaying TII

hello,
I've got an 88 TII with 126k. i had installed kyb shocks and struts,and hks pro sport springs and also both rear spindles replaced. Now i would have though my car would no longer sway all over the road. when i get on the gas the underneath of the car feels like it's twisting up like when you twist a towel to ring the water out. It does not happen at low cruising speeds only when i get on the gas or on the highway at 65mph. This is very scary and i'm wondering what the hell it could be. i am planning to get new sway bars and the rear diff mount bushing installed also.

If anyone has had this same problem, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all,
Benny

Check rear subframe bushing-Especially the "rear steer" bushings, camber links, and all other bushings.

I'd say either the suspension is set up incorrectly or, the bushings are worn out.
