Default Please Help!!!

at highway speeds or when coming to a quick stop the car seems to sway wayyyy too much. its to the point to where its really dangerous even trying to do a quick lane change.. it literally feels like the tires are going to fall off. when coming to a quick stop on an uneven road.. the car will pull to one side quite hard.. and its not the same side, it depends on the road.. any ideas on what this is?

I just purchased new shocks cuz they are the original with over 110k miles on them.. but somethin tells me there is much more going on here. thanks!
