When driving the front-end rattles bad and the rear-end. My car fishtails on certain parts of the highway. I replaced both driver side and passenger side CV axles, and it still rattles bad!

I have seen the sway bar links are main frame bushings go bad and make noise along with the fishtail you are talking about. Here is a guide to help you see what's going on. If you uploaded a short video of the noise, we can tell for sure. You can do so in your response.
