This thing (99.5 Jetta) handles like crap!

So, the same Jetta, but it handles like the body isn't attached to the drivetrain. After new shocks and struts I took the car to work and it handles horribly! When you make a turn the body rolls and sways like I've never seen before! Any reasonable suggestions for this? It really feels like it wants to roll in a sharp turn.

better tires, and definately put in the strut brace as soon as you can. After that, run down the list of braces and bushings.

Sway bar end links break alot on older new style jettas (plastic). If one breaks the car will handle horribly and clunk sometimes turning.
