I finally figured out that my rack bushings were what was causing my car to wander on the highway. I had replaced the struts and all four tie rods trying to figure out why the car would pull one way then immediately seems to pull the other way.
I made a video of the movement of the stock bushings while the car was sitting in the driveway. The stock bushings are complete mush and have been that way since when I bought the car with 68,000 miles. I know there was a TSB for this but if you think about it putting on a shorter tube will only compress the stock bushing and not stop the side to side compression like a harder polyurethane bushing, I bought the Energy Suspension polyurethane rack bushing ENS-4-10103G with no offset. The bushings are only $10.99 from Summit Racing and are quite easy to replace.
You Tube video of the before and after difference.
