06 g35 coupe steering feels loose, disconnected, swaying.

I've searched through the forums as much as i could stand but i could not come up with anything that was close to my problem.

Let me start with what I've done, it has Ksport Kontrol Pros(rebuilt shocks in rear front are old but still good) , voodoo 13 rear camber arms, and tow arms and wheels other than that its stock.

It started a few days ago i was on the highway doing around 65 and i took a light corner and noticed the car felt too loose almost like a sway bar had come loose as i turned the front turned, and then the rear rotated around almost a half a second lag. and when i turned from left to right at that speed it felt really loose . pulled over checked sway bars and suspension arms, all good from what i could tell nothing loose. checked for play on wheel bearings and traction rods, slop in axle shafts sub-frame bushings. Nothing. im at a lose for what is wrong . i also noticed around 3-4k RPM under medium accel it will kind of squat to the right rear and pull left.

I've had it on a lift and went from front to rear over everything and the only thing that stood out was my right front wheel bearing has a very light vibration when i roll the wheel but i doubt this would cause my issue. if anyone has had this problem or could point me in the right direction that would be awesome thanks

about 4k miles on front tires with very slight feathering, brand new rear tires with about 700 miles and i had the alignment done about a month ago. Front has stock uppers so camber is about -2 deg. and toe is in stock spec. rear is at stock specs.

are your tires a matching set? i would get the front camber fixed. get some upper control arms to fix the camber. if you think about it the contact patch the tire makes is going to be smaller then it should be. which could lead to some steering issues.

i would double check the alignment cause when i had my 04 it was really bad about staying in alignment.

yeah they are a matching set, and i plan on doing a quick check on my alignment very soon. it just doesnt feel like a alignment issue it drives straight and doesnt really pull when i turn or hit bumps. its feels like im towing a trailer really. when i slalom side to side it kind of feel weird im not really sure how to explain it. just like when you turn its a sharp turn in but the whole car doesnt exactly follow as it should. thanks for your advice though i appreciate it.
