Highway Swirving HELP
My problem is that at high speeds on the highway or anything near or over 55 it will swerve on its own from side to side. If I am cornering it will start to turn almost as it normally would and then go into an almost "Super Turning" mode where it cuts more sharply without a proportional sharp cut on the wheel. And if I just move the wheel to the left or rights the car will continue to float around. Also I have noticed that under hard acceleration... Once I shift it will pull to either direction.

You need to torque the bolts connecting your wheels to the your axle. If you have aftermarket wheels, you may need a concentric hub adapter.
As Emski mentions, you also need to check alignment.
Do both (alignment and hub adapter with correct torque), and your problem goes away. --Spike

Have you messed with your toe or your camber or lack there of? did you lower your car and not correct the toe and/or camber?

I agree its most likely alignment, i have the same problem but doesn't seem as bad as you.. mostly just have a slight wobble around 100+ mph from driver front tire, probably a couple degrees off. but it also slightly pulls to that side when cornering that way so I have to bring the wheel back and ease back into the corner.

Check wheel bearings too. Put the car up on a jack and test each wheel by moving it back and forth. Any play would be the wheel bearing. If not check the axle nut and alignment.

Alright alright thanks to everyone for the input. I'll check the alignment.. Toe... Bushings.... And everything else listed.
This problem is real annoying. The cartels real unstable in the freeway.

I'm not an alignment expert. But it definitely sounded like an alignment problem. I've had my toe and camber both out of whack on separate occassions. It will really do a number on steering, especially the toe. I was just reading up on alignment problems and the toe sounds like the culprit IMO...

Found the problem!! It is the rear wheel bearings. Makes sense because it felt like the *** end was shifting around. But also like the front....
Video to the issue.
Hope this helps people with the same strange issue.
