The first high speed shift I did, I over corrected because of my muscle memory and it swayed a little, but the next shift I just shift without any wheel input and it stayed straight! This was the issue I've been having all along! It's amazing what that one loose nut was causing. It feels so smooth now!!! man. Thanks to everyone here who helped me point out the potential problems right away!

Does this mean I'm all done and problem fixed? or would you say I should still replace them? The rubber boot is still in tact, no tear, and actually when I wiped away the gunk, the entire part looks new. I bet it was replaced and I just missed it in the 100's of receipts I got from previous owner few years ago. I feel like it doesn't need to be replaced anymore at this point.
According to the Mazda FSM, that link does not meet the ball joint preload spec.
