Default Sway / Wandering

Hello again,

Replaced all 3 rods on the front with new ball joints and so on, got alignment done, however - when driving faster seems like the steering wheel feels a bit loose and the car tends to wander around / sway more than i would like it too.
It has a 2" OME LIFT kit installed if that changes anything. Any ideas on what to look for? Its not terribly bad, but seems like something's off a bit. Wheel bearings also replaced.

check out the panhard rod / bolts/ bushings.............the bolts that hold it in the suspension brackets need to be gawd-awful tight...personal experience

Was it doing this before the lift? Before the steering rods and tie rod ends replacement? Narrowing down exactly when it happened will help with diagnosis. Since you say "Replaced all three rods" I'm assuming you did the panhard?
