Almost sounds like a bad rear toe setting. The rear bump steer is causing you to kick out a little. Is the car lowered at all?

Stiffer bar setting will likely make it worse.

yeah the car is lowered on Swift springs. you think it could be a bad toe setting with the camber arms and toe bolts?

I didn't realize you had that hardware, it is very possible your rear toe is out of whack which could be due to a variety of things such as one of the toe bolts slipping a bit. I have Stillen sway bars at firm in the rear and the car is planted regardless of road conditions.

You need an alignment first, op. Then stiffer shocks.
