   For a while now when cornering, I can feel my steering moving left and right, it feels fine in a straight, the only thing I haven't checked/changed is the steering rack it really doesn't feel safe though, any ideas?

   Sounds like your power steering pump is failing, check its got pas fluid as the line at the rear has probably worn through

   Sounds like your lower arm bushes to me. Or you're starting to get play in your axle.
   
   OR you're cornering too fast.
   
   Definitely not the rack.
