We kinda need a little better description. Sway bars resist body roll. Is that what you meant? Or, does "flying off on a tangent" mean the car felt like it was 'floating' off the projected path? If it's scenario #2, it could be your front control arm bushings or your rear trailing arm bushings.

Could be front control arm bushings that would have a similar feeling, how hard was it to pull it back in line?
