        Tierods?  Has it been drinking?  Can the operator maintain control?  Does it have Radial tires?

            The answers above are right-on and I would like to add that low pressure in the tires and / or weight in a roof rack can make a car sway also.

                Have the front end sway bar checked. It probably needs to be replaced.

                  Have all body supports checked. Have the tie rods checked, have the sway bar double checked. The sway bar should be one unit, do you mean you replaced the tie rods. There are 2 of those.
