Car really feels loose while driving and wonders left to right really bad sorta feels like a wheel is so loose it's about to fall off. I've replaced the lower ball joints, upper control arms, wheel bearings, outer tie rod ends and sway bar end links all within the past year or so but it feels worse now then ever. Also its started popping when I turn to the right under the front end and the car sits leaning towards the drivers side when standing in front of the car but looks like the drivers side tire has no weight on it.

Have you done lower control arms? it sounds like the bushing are worn out. here is a guide to help us fix the problem:
