Default C5 feels loose

I have Z06 swaybars (with soild links) and ZO6 shocks and just recently the car starting to feel loose , at low speeds . I thought maybe is was tire pressure and it was not . I even had my wife drive it and she said it felt little funny . . Does anybody have any ideas?

Had a similar problem a couple of years ago. Replacing the Tie Rod Ends fixed the problem.

rear tie rod ends can go bad and back end will feel like it is swishing around.

A blown shock can do give the same symptons as well as something not getting tightened up correctly back there.
