Back of car sways at high speeds

Hi all, my name is Mike im new to the club. Did multiple searches and no luck. It seems at higher speeds (above 80 mphor so) the back of the car sways left to right as if i had a low tire.This is my first post, so not sure if i did it in the right place.

It would help if you told us which car this is.
also list your mods.
When was the last time you had an alignment by a competent shop?

Have you jacked the car up and shook the rear tires to see if there is any play?

check suspension toe links and arms...mine did this a long time ago in my R1. Around town it was fine but at speed the rear seemed to float. Turned out my toe links had loosened

The injectors, bov and fmic and other engine mods won't affect your alignment.

When did this start? What is your current suspension setup?

Your post looks like you threw up and a bunch of parts came out. I don't have time to decipher what your suspension setup is. Make it easy on us please.
