Default Very weird problem..

So this past week when driving on the highway, at around 70-80 mph, my back end of my car feels like its sway left and right.. I feel like I have to keep correcting my wheel to make the car go straight. This started to happen when I installed a take-off sway bar..

Is the sway bar the problem? If so, why? Or is it my alignment?

That sounds like why it would do that, but I dont understand why.

ya, it shouldnt do that unless the sway bar was installed incorrectly.

Ugh, I hate going under the car -.-

The install was fine, it isn't loose at all. I really just don't want to take it off

Should I bring it to Ford and be bitchy and whine about the warranty (always fun) or go to an alignment shop and see what they think?

the alignment on the rear end of the mustang is not adjustable unless you have adjustable LCAs and a panhard bar. the sway bar shouldnt have moved the rear end at all.

It basically seems like my wheel is over sensitive to any movement.. like a slight turn will sway it off too much. what would that be?
