Has been replaced:

Rear Sway Links
Idler Arms
Steering Damper
Alignment was done less than a year ago (last february)


When you get the steering to a certain spot or if there is no wind outside, it will track straight just fine, its when its more windy, then it swerves around.

The only place I have around here that could check the suspension out is the dealer....and they charge $95 an hour to look at it. I'd rather be paying that and getting things replaced than paying it for potentially nothing, then having to pay again for the actual repair....

I think my guide rods/bushings are pretty shot as well, but the ball joints look ok, no clunking, and when I grab a wheel and shake it doesn't move/have play.

Potential culprits: Tie rods, steering box, guide rods, maaaaybe the alignment

What would be my best bet for why the car wanders/swerves, especially in windy situations, it feels like the steering wheel is merely a "suggestion" for where the car is going..
