Default 97 ford escort suspension problems

Heres the deal. It is a 97 ford escort sedan. I just replaced rear struts and springs but the car is still causing issues. When it is driven over bumps or dips or when turning left so the passenger side is holding the majority of the weight the car starts moving around like it is going to lose control. It sounds funny but the only way to describe the movement but it seems like it is wiggeling!!! Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Have you looked at the rear anti sway bar and bushings?

Yeah that lack of control is exactly what it feels like when you don't get an alignment. Did you get an alignment? I wouldn't keep driving it until you do. Barring that, you may have defective parts. This website- completestruts.com has plug and play assemblies for almost all Fords. Just make sure you get an alignment! They pre-align their parts but there are always little adjustments that need to be made once they are on the car.
