Default swaying

Ok so i gotta 96 civic coupe, my car seems to sway from the rear end at high speeds or when cracking into it. Like im all over the road. So i put new tires all the way around and had a front end alignment replaced axcels and tierods. Mount and balanced. My suppension is tight and everythings seems normal. except its like when i shift gears it hear a clunk from the rear which is weird like something is hitting something but only when i switch gears at a lower rpm. 1st therw 2nd it shimmys pretty bad only started doing that after my lower balljoint broke and threw me into a ditch but i changed both lower balljoints and replaced the A frame because it was broke in half and bent really bad,changed axels and tierods and got new rim. so im clueless what the problems are any help would be appreciated

Car body could be tweaked from your wreck....also if you are hearing noise from the rear end an have replaced everything in the front end don't you think you would want to check out the suspension in the rear to see if something may need replaced?

Well first off you don't need to be going 80+mph. Don't drive that fast and it won't happen. It's that simple. It's a damn honda, it's not gonna be stable at 80+mph.

That's your problem, you're doing 80+ in a "stock?" totalled civic.
