Got the coilover stripped down and sent to a shop to get it reinforced.
Sway is like a race horse; if you push it sometimes, it's ok, but if you are hard on it all the time, then it's going to break its ankle and then you will have to shoot it.

While on one hand I agree. But if it can't be welded 100% as well as it originally was, you're going to hurt yourself in the long run. If your car isn't consistent, you can't be consistent. *cough* steering rack *cough*

FYI I figured out the steering slack issue. My spindle on the right side is banana shaped. That's why the bearings would not seat properly and the hub shakes. I need a new spindle as well. The shop that is fixing the coilover is going to make a metal sleeve to slide over the current damaged tube to create a thicker and stronger tube. It's the same guy that made my extended control arms and they held up well during the wreck.

Replace the spindle; it is already structurally compromised.

I have no idea what your last sentence means at all. I even googled it.
