well i put my rims on this weekend and now i have a really bad wiggle at bumps and even just randomly down the highway...the car did this before with the steel wheels on but not so badly, i figured it was just my tires that were garbage :S but now its worse, sway bar links? what other options could this be..theres no noise it just wiggles the car almost like hittin a patch of ice sorta feel

check your ball joints..this will cause the car to be taken from ya sometimes and also your tie rods check for play in em. and then go get an alignment

the whole front end is very tight and stiff , also the car drives very straight, almost seems the wiggle comes from the rear end of the car :S

is it the sway bushings or the endlinks, tie rods, wheel hub is loose, etc.

bad bearing......or you need balancing??? or something is bent???

Your thrust angle is probably off.

Get a 4 wheel alignment.

^x2, and get the wheels balanced while you're at it.

Jack up your rear, hold the tires at 9 and 3 o'clock, and wiggle them (like you were trying to manually steer them), if you have 1-2mm looseness there you might need some new control arms.

Exactly what you are describing happend to me on my 5th gen.

Even though it sounds stupid; Check your tires...
