Suspension Gremlins (already replaced struts)

The ride in my 93 GXE was very rough, the car ran fine, but the suspension was so bad it would make you seasick. The car leaned too hard in turns (3-5 degrees off center on a 90 degree turn at 15mph) and made the car difficult to drive in rain. Any evasive manuever would probably send the car out of control. It drives as if there is an enourmous amount of weight shifting in the turn. I replaced the front struts on monday, but the car still handles the same. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?

Just checked the sway bars. Nothing wrong with them. Not tourqued, no rust on the bolts. I've got a dealer appointment friday to have them look at it, but I have to drive it 8/7 from NJ to Atlanta. If it doesn't get fixed soon, I'll probably throw up on the drive.

When u come to atlanta I could look at it. Just pm me and we could hook up if you havn't got it fixed. If it's not sereous and can get parts, you'll drive back with a smile.

Thanks for the offer, I'll be in touch if the dealer wants me to bend over for something simple.

Money and knowhow are not related.
I can make the car fast as he!! stop on a dime (and pick it up) handle like ti's on rails.
BUT I got no money to do it with.
So it doesn't get done.
