07’ Hybrid AWD steering is squirly

The best way to explain the handling is “The Carleton Dance” the sway back and forth. If I go left the ass end follows behind with fraction of delay and vice versa with turning right. Enough to where it feels unsafe, especially when it’s raining, it’s like I’m driving on ice. If I were to swerve on the highway at all I feel like I would instantly flip.

I’ve got new Michelin tires, proper PSI, replaced: shocks, struts, control arms, axle, link kit, 2 alignments all in the past week and still doing the dance. Mechanic said the 2nd alignment was to fix the wheels turning in on them selves, so they were fighting each other. Would really like to keep the car. Really don’t want to drop any more money into it though. Thoughts?
